---|---|---|
Data discovery & classificationSatori and Cyera offer a data inventory by continuously scanning your ungoverned data assets for shadow data. Satori continuously scans and analyzes data, including semi-structured data. In addition to the built-in taxonomy of classifiers, you can add your own custom classifiers. Cyera offers sensitive data classification, but lacks customization capabilities. |
||
Data access governanceBoth platforms allow you to get full mapping of users’ access to data, allowing you to understand who has access to sensitive data, and why users have that access. |
||
Data activity monitoringSatori provides comprehensive auditing of data access requests and approvals, including their business justification reasons, grants, and revokes. Satori also offers data access audit, which includes all queries to data across all connected data stores. The audit data is actionable: for example, if a user was blocked due to a security policy, you can quickly solve that in the platform. |
