Symmetry Systems' Feature-Packed Year: A Milestone in Modern Data Security
Friday, December 22, 2023
Symmetry Unveils Groundbreaking Major Product Features in 2023 to Redefine Enterprise Data Security
SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetry Systems, a modern AI-powered data security company, is proud to celebrate a successful 2023 filled with great customer outcomes, product updates, and a roadmap to place data and identities at the heart of enterprise security.
Cybersecurity teams have to let the business innovate wildly with GenAI projects - and do so on a secure foundation. They are turning to Symmetry to ensure that appropriate data is used to train GenAI models, and to help answer questions like, "Can any third-party contractors working on our GenAI project access sensitive customer data this type of sensitive data across any of our three clouds?". Being able to answer this accurately in organizations with hundreds of petabytes and cloud accounts, and also identify specific data objects where they did so here, here, and here is an outcome that only Symmetry can do today. This has led to Symmetry's successful deployment at, amongst others: Fortune 50 manufacturing companies, leading pharmaceutical and financial services companies, and a highly regarded federal organization at the forefront of the aeronautics and space industry. Symmetry produces tangible outcomes - e.g., enabling a Fortune 100 organization on Google cloud to delete over 25% cloud assets such as Projects, Identities, and production data without any business impact.
Throughout the year, Symmetry Systems has continually improved its ability to answer simple questions about an organization's data, but also drive real outcomes beyond classifying and mapping access to data that an organization has. Most notably, Symmetry has made continuous advancements across cloud and data storage coverage, ML-powered data identifiers and classifiers, and comprehensive data security capabilities. With these enhancements and feature updates, Symmetry Systems helps customers overcome the complexity of securing their data across multiple platforms. The announcement of these features comes shortly after Symmetry Systems achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency status in the Data Protection category, demonstrating the company's commitment to helping organizations easily and efficiently protect their most important asset - their data.
The new features from Symmetry Systems released throughout the past year include:
-- Expanded Cloud and Data Store Coverage: Symmetry Systems, already
renowned as the most comprehensive cloud platform providing feature
parity across major cloud providers, has further extended its
capabilities. This year Symmetry expanded coverage and integrations for
Microsoft Azure to include OneDrive and SharePoint, and strengthened its
on-premise deployments with Hadoop, Apache Ranger, and SQL Server
integrated with Azure Active Directory, and expanded integrations for
self-managed "in your cloud" deployment, tailored for IL-6 Air Gapped
cloud environments. Symmetry's existing data store coverage already
includes support for Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud
Storage, Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS, Google BigQuery, MySQL, Postgres,
and more.
-- Market leading Machine Learning -powered Data Identifiers and
Classifiers: Symmetry Systems has raised the bar for data discovery and
classification, surpassing competitors in terms of speed, accuracy, and
cost-effectiveness. Through intelligent data object sampling,
context-aware classification and identity first prioritization, Symmetry
reduces false positives to industry leading levels, optimizing the speed
and cost of classification and enhancing the customers' remediation
processes to optimize resource allocations and enhance security
efficacy.Symmetry Systems also expanded its built-in set of identifiers
to over 60, including the detection of Azure SAS Tokens, AWS Pre Signed
URLs, and public/private keys, enhancing the capability to identify a
variety of sensitive data.
-- Comprehensive Data Security Capabilities in single platform: Symmetry
Systems' extensive range of data security features now covers
capabilities across all NIST functions (Identify, Protect, Detect,
Respond and Recover). Building upon its market-leading Data Security
Posture Management (DSPM), Data Detection and Response (DDR), and Cloud
Identity and Entitlement Management (CIEM) capabilities, Symmetry has
continued to incorporate state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to
monitor cloud identity behavior and data operations, offering advanced
anomaly detection across all major cloud service providers and
on-premise datastores.
The company also automated enforcement and remediation of excess, dormant and unauthorized permissions to sensitive data before they become an issue, and now offers out-of-the-box data risk reports that provide comprehensive insights about data risks and vulnerabilities with respect to sensitivity, volume, location, and accessibility to data in just a few clicks. These assessment reports provide insights with recommended actions to mitigate risks and strengthen security within hours of deployment.
The majority of these features are already in production for customers or in the final stages of performance testing. Symmetry currently helps organizations secure their crown jewels across thousands of their AWS, Azure and GCP cloud accounts, effortlessly analyzing over 50 million on-prem and cloud data stores and data objects, analyzing and safeguarding over 20 million identities and analyzing over 2 billion operations per month. The product development and feature addition sets up Symmetry for further success in an even larger scale and versatility next year
"Modern enterprises already run on data. And LLMs, large language models, promise to open up more of their data to more of their people to unlock its value. Symmetry's mission is to help organizations be great stewards of data - to accelerate this integration of people and data so that organizations can be both agile and safe." said Dr. Mohit Tiwari, Co-Founder and CEO at Symmetry Systems. "To this end, we've made simple declarative policies that map directly to plain English outcomes such as 'contractor access to customer data', that compile to all three clouds and on-premise data stores like Tensorflow did for ML models; and an AI-driven visual interface that welcomes every persona in an organization to collaboratively steward the data."
