Use Case

Reduce Uncontrolled Data Sprawl and Associated Risks

Data growth isn't just a storage problem. It's a security one.

Uncontrolled data creation, duplication, and retention inflate risk, cost, and operational overhead:

Shadow data goes undetected and unmanaged

Duplicate data and ghost backups expand the attack surface and complexity

Stale, unused data sits in high-cost storage without lifecycle enforcement

Disconnected ownership prevents coordinated cleanup and optimization

Without accurate risk assessment and policy-driven lifecycle control, data sprawl becomes an operational liability.

Detect shadow data such as orphaned snapshots and unattached volumes

Uncover misplaced or duplicated data and reduce your attack surface

Enforce smart retention with policy-driven cleanup and storage tiering

Monitor and alert on sensitive data access in M365, Google Drive, and other collaboration tools

Sentra uncovers hidden data, reduces cloud waste, shrinks the attack surface, and enforces cleanup policies

Detect, classify, and clean up data at scale—improving efficiency while reducing cost, risk, and exposure:

AI-powered discovery and classification

Sentra gives teams a complete, real-time inventory of both known and unknown, unmanaged, and duplicated data and its movement across multi-cloud environments, powered by context-rich, AI-based classification and similarity analysis.

Microsoft 365 and Google Drive integration

Sentra alerts on sensitive data activity and movement across productivity tools—like file duplication, link sharing, and unauthorized access—helping you monitor risk and stop sprawl at the source.

Lifecycle policy enforcement and storage optimization

Automatically apply storage class and retention policies based on sensitivity, usage, and access. Free up budget and reduce risk by archiving or deleting stale data.

Unified SaaS and multi-cloud governance

Sentra is built to support complex hybrid environments, making it easy to manage data sprawl whether it lives in Azure, M365, Google Drive, or multi-cloud workloads.

Resources

AI-ready data is the new competitive advantage.

AI is Live. Your data readiness and governance isn’t.

Sentra discovers, classifies, and governs every dataset AI can touch—from Copilot to Bedrock—at petabyte scale.
