Data Security Platforms: The New Frontier in Cybersecurity & AI
This whitepaper outlines a major shift in cybersecurity toward data-centric security, driven by rapid data growth, generative AI, and stricter compliance demands. As data becomes the primary security perimeter, traditional network defenses are no longer sufficient. Organizations face increasing risks from data breaches, regulatory pressure, and challenges like data sprawl, cyber resilience, and GenAI complexity. The excerpt argues that effective security now requires a comprehensive program spanning data discovery, classification, governance, protection, monitoring, response, and recovery. It positions data as the “crown jewel” and the next major opportunity in cybersecurity, supported by market research and industry insights. Using Cyera as a case study, the report highlights how modern p
