Efficiently Enable Data Security Posture Management to Reduce Risk Across All Data Sources

Exterro Data Discovery empowers organizations to maintain an agile and secure data security posture by automating critical data security processes. With advanced AI-driven capabilities, this solution provides robust visibility across structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data elements. By proactively identifying, cataloging, and classifying data, including users who have access to this information, Exterro Data Discovery enables companies to reduce risks tied to sensitive data management while supporting rigorous regulatory compliance needs.

  • Personal and Sensitive Data Discovery

    Exterro Discovery leverages responsible AI to automate the identification of sensitive and regulated data elements across multiple data environments, from cloud to on-premises sources. This high-accuracy discovery reduces data security risks by ensuring that all personal and sensitive data is accounted for and protected.

  • Automated Data Mapping

    Collaborative workspaces powered by Exterro's automated discovery and classification capabilities allow users to complete their data mapping exercise quickly and efficiently automating the creation of a comprehensive data catalog, including “dark” or “shadow” data in repositories IT may not be aware of. This allows organizations to visualize their data landscape accurately, with minimal manual intervention, supporting effective data security strategies and regulatory alignment.

  • Detection of ROT Data

    Exterro Discovery helps identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data, especially sensitive data elements that are no longer necessary. This insight enables organizations to enforce data minimization practices, securely delete or anonymize data, and streamline data storage, reducing data exposure and costs.

Access Management and Least Privilege Enforcement

Gain visibility into who has access to personal and sensitive data across your organization. Exterro Discovery facilitates the enforcement of the least privilege principle, helping you monitor, review, and control data access permissions, a critical component in DSPM and essential for reducing potential data breaches.
