Sentra Named in List of Top 12 DSPM Tools
Sentra has been recognized by CSO Online as one of the Top 12 Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) tools for enterprises. This recognition highlights Sentra’s commitment to helping organizations secure sensitive data in dynamic, cloud-first environments.
Why DSPM Is Critical Today
As enterprises adopt cloud and AI at scale, data is constantly being created, duplicated, and shared. Traditional security tools often fail to detect “shadow data” — forgotten repositories, over-permissioned storage, or mislabeled sensitive information. This leaves organizations vulnerable to data exposure and compliance risks.
DSPM has emerged as a critical solution, giving security teams:
- Comprehensive visibility into where sensitive data lives across clouds and SaaS.
- Automated classification and labeling to ensure the right protections follow the data.
- Continuous monitoring to detect misconfigurations, oversharing, and risky access.
- Context-aware insights that separate real threats from background noise.
As CSO Online notes, DSPM tools are now seen as essential complements to broader cloud security posture management (CSPM), focusing specifically on the data itself rather than just infrastructure.
Sentra’s Approach to DSPM
Sentra was founded to help organizations embrace cloud data innovation without compromising security or compliance.
Our Cloud Native Data Security Platform provides:
- Sensitive data discovery across AWS, Azure, GCP, Microsoft 365, and SaaS environments
- Automated classification and labeling integrated with Microsoft Purview DLP and other controls
- Data Detection & Response (DDR) for near real-time visibility into risks and exposures
- Seamless integrations with SIEM, SOAR, IAM, ITSM, and CNAPP solutions
- Actionable dashboards and analytics that reduce noise and focus security teams on what matters most
By combining DSPM with DDR, Sentra enables organizations not only to see where sensitive data resides, but also to continuously monitor and remediate risks before they lead to incidents.
Industry Momentum
According to Gartner, DSPM adoption is projected to rise sharply, from less than 1% in 2022 to more than 20% in the coming years. This growth reflects the urgent need to identify unknown data repositories and mitigate the risks of shadow data.
The CSO Online recognition underscores Sentra’s position as a leading innovator in this fast-growing space.
