Risk • Need • Solution

Lack of visibility results in weak governance, greater exposure, regulatory penalties, and higher cybersecurity threats

The Solution : DiscoveryIQ
DiscoveryIQ automatically identifies, classifies, and reports sensitive data—giving organizations the clarity they need to govern, protect, and reduce risk.
