Sentra, the global leader in cloud-native data security for the AI era, today announced its placement as a “Leader” and “Outperformer” in GigaOm’s latest Radar report for Data Security Platforms (DSP). The GigaOm DSP Radar report recognizes Sentra among a new generation of data security providers for its exceptional capabilities. The report emphasizes Sentra’s broad coverage across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments, and highlights the company’s comprehensive data activity monitoring and automated Data Access Governance (DAG) capabilities to detect and remediate risks.
In its inaugural placement in the report, Sentra was named the only “Outperformer” in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant and achieved ‘five-star’ ratings across key GigaOm evaluation criteria for its service integrations, activity auditing and access security. The platform’s zero trust enabling capabilities and user flexibility also received top marks in the emerging features and business criteria categories. The report highlights Sentra’s ability to manage and protect data at scale using novel scanning technology. The platform efficiently classifies petabytes of cloud data, automates data movement detection across perimeters and ensures secure, authorized data usage.
As data complexity and volumes continue to rise, “poorly managed and inadequately secured data leaves organizations at risk of a data breach and increases the costs of storage and protection,” said Paul Stringfellow, security & risk analyst at GigaOm. “Data security platforms (DSPs) have been developed to address this challenge by unifying various data security strategies into a single, cohesive solution. These platforms aim to simplify the complexity of managing data security while enhancing its overall effectiveness.”
Building on its strong placement in GigaOm’s inaugural Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) Radar in May 2024, Sentra’s inclusion in both Radars highlights the platform’s evolution to meet modern enterprise needs through innovations in Data Detection and Response (DDR), AI-driven data context analysis, and seamless remediation integrations. GigaOm’s acknowledgment of Sentra’s key use cases, including securing AI with LLM protection, DAG and data loss prevention, emphasizes the company’s dedication to address AI-specific challenges while continuing to tackle the persistent data security issues of the cloud era.
“Sentra’s recognition as a Leader and Outperformer by GigaOm validates its dedication to providing a unique solution that also integrates well with existing workstreams and tools, meeting the market need for context-aware solutions that address today’s complex data security challenges,” said Yoav Regev, co-founder and CEO of Sentra. “The rise of AI has introduced new threat vectors and data risks, and Sentra’s cloud-native DSP platform is designed to meet the demands of this new era by enabling organizations to implement strong data protection measures, remain compliant and proactively monitor for threats to data no matter where it travels throughout the AI lifecycle.”
The GigaOm Radar for Data Security Platforms v2.0 examines 17 top DSP solutions and compares offerings against capabilities and nonfunctional requirements outlined in a separate companion Key Criteria report. The report provides an overview of the market, identifies leading DSP offerings, and helps decision-makers evaluate solutions so they can make a more informed decision.
