Normalyze vs. IBM Guardium DSPM

Our data discovery and scanning platform functions seamlessly without the requirement for agents, which streamlines integration with various cloud accounts, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. You won't need to worry about any deployment or management activities. We are fully compatible with all native cloud data repositories, whether they are structured or unstructured, across these leading cloud service providers. Normalyze effectively scans both types of data in your cloud settings, collecting only metadata to enrich the Normalyze graph, ensuring that no sensitive information is captured in the process. The platform provides real-time visualizations of access and trust relationships, offering in-depth context that includes detailed process names, data store fingerprints, along with IAM roles and policies. This capability allows you to quickly pinpoint all data stores that potentially harbor sensitive information, discover every access route, and assess possible breach paths based on criteria such as sensitivity, volume, and permissions, thereby exposing vulnerabilities that could lead to data breaches. Additionally, the platform facilitates the classification and identification of sensitive data in accordance with industry regulations like PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR, ensuring robust compliance support. This comprehensive strategy not only fortifies data security but also empowers organizations to manage regulatory compliance with greater efficiency, ultimately fostering a more secure data environment. By utilizing our platform, organizations can proactively address vulnerabilities and enhance their overall data governance framework.

As organizations increasingly adopt advanced technologies and modern development practices, the escalating volume and distribution of data create a notably intricate challenge for data security. The absence of strong data protection measures amplifies the threat of data leaks, security breaches, unauthorized access to private information, and substantial penalties for non-compliance with data privacy regulations. To address these challenges, IBM Guardium Data Security Center provides a solution through its Guardium DSPM, which adeptly discovers, classifies, and monitors sensitive data in both cloud environments and SaaS applications, addressing several pressing concerns. This system enables rapid, accurate, and ongoing identification of sensitive data across your cloud infrastructure, ensuring comprehensive oversight. Utilizing an innovative AI-driven engine, our solution not only simplifies the discovery and classification of sensitive information but also saves both time and resources. Moreover, the agentless deployment of DSPM facilitates immediate initiation of discovery processes, removing the necessity for prior knowledge about data locations or access credentials, thus making the data protection approach more efficient. Ultimately, this groundbreaking tool significantly enhances the overall data security framework of organizations while fostering a proactive stance towards data governance. In doing so, it empowers businesses to not only protect their data but also to build trust with their clients and stakeholders.
