How DSPM Turbocharges Data Visibility

In today’s digital landscape, data visibility is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Organizations across industries are grappling with the challenges of safeguarding sensitive information while maintaining efficiency and compliance. 

Modern challenges require modern solutions like Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) that not only bolster data security but also turbocharge data visibility.

What is Data Visibility?

Data visibility is the ability of an organization to have a clear and comprehensive understanding of all its data, including where it is stored, who has access to it and how it’s being used. It refers to the ability to discover, classify, monitor and ultimately understand how data flows through an organization.

Visibility is hard to achieve with traditional data protection tools. Having poor visibility to data exposes corporations to noncompliance with global data privacy laws. And without visibility, organizations risk blind spots that could lead to data loss, non-compliance with global regulations or even catastrophic breaches.

Achieving data visibility is a critical step on the path to informed decision-making, operational efficiency and safeguarding sensitive information. True data visibility extends beyond just locating the data; it involves understanding the context, assessing its sensitivity and ensuring alignment with enterprise security policies.

One of our customers, an IT Security and Risk Manager, had this to say about Forcepoint DSPM: 

Forcepoint DSPM is well regarded for its ease of use, rapid deployment and strong visibility into data risk across hybrid environments.

Why Choose Forcepoint DSPM?

Forcepoint DSPM achieves data visibility with its suite of advanced features that arm organizations with advanced data discovery and classification features—all focused on data quality. That data quality translates into global data compliance and the ultimate in data security for your organization. 

Here’s how Forcepoint DSPM turbocharges data visibility:

• It discovers sensitive data across channels - Forcepoint DSPM excels in identifying sensitive data wherever it resides, both on-prem and across cloud locations. Leveraging automated discovery tools, it scans across all channels and platforms to provide a consolidated view of sensitive data assets, such as personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), or intellectual property. This ensures organizations to locate sensitive data dynamically.
   
• It delivers next-gen data classification through AI Mesh – Forcepoint DSPM uses AI Mesh technology, a network of GenAI, additional AI classification technology and data-science models, to rapidly discover and classify unstructured data. A small-language model generates document vectors, while neural nets, topic models, Bayesian inference and regex filters work in parallel to identify sensitive content like IP and trade secrets. This approach delivers high-speed, accurate classification at scale. By comparison, many competitors ship “AI-powered “black box solutions that are hard to explain, raising questions of what they actually accomplish.
   
• It offers enhanced data quality and global data compliance - Data visibility is incomplete without ensuring data quality and compliance. Forcepoint DSPM helps organizations maintain the integrity and usability of their data by identifying duplicates, inconsistencies, or outdated records. This process simplifies the complexities of adhering to global regulations like GDPR, CCPA or HIPAA by automating compliance reporting and risk assessments. Its built-in compliance frameworks enable businesses to align their data policies with legal requirements, reducing the risk of costly penalties and reputational damage.
