“Satori Ups Its Game in Data Security with Posture Management and Data Store Discovery Features”

## Introduction

Satori, a leading data security platform, has recently launched two new capabilities within its existing platform that promise to provide companies with a more comprehensive understanding of their data authorization; the Posture Management capability and the Data Store Discovery capability. The Posture Management capability monitors all the authorizations of users to data across all data stores in a company. The Data Store Discovery capability scans and monitors an organization’s cloud accounts to discover new data stores. These new capabilities will provide companies with a holistic view of all their data stores and will make compliance audits and forensic investigations more effective.

## Details of the New Capabilities

The Posture Management capability scans all data permissions and provides an analytics layer over data access in the organization. It tracks KPIs to help improve data access posture. Using Posture Management, companies can eliminate the risks of a data breach due to over-privileged data access. Companies can view authorization permissions over time and at any specific point in time. This feature makes compliance audits and forensic investigations easier and more efficient.

On the other hand, the Data Store Discovery capability allows users to connect Satori directly to their cloud accounts to gain a holistic view of all data stores in the organization. If a team sets up a “shadow” cloud database without proper access controls in place, the data and security teams will know about it immediately and take proper action, such as shutting it down or applying appropriate access control over it. The new capability promises to provide context-aware and granular data access and privacy policies across all enterprise data flows, data access and data stores.

## Advantages and Risks of the New Capabilities

The new capabilities added to Satori’s data security platform promise to provide companies with a comprehensive understanding of their data authorization, make compliance audits and forensic investigations more effective and avoid data breaches due to over-privileged data access. However, with these new capabilities arise the risks of potential data misuse if proper access controls are not put in place.

## Conclusion and Advice

The modern data-driven age calls for a comprehensive understanding of data authorization and the new capabilities offered by Satori provide a solution to the problem. However, as with all technology that provides access to sensitive data, proper access controls need to be put in place to avoid potential data misuse. It’s also crucial for companies to monitor and manage access to their data continuously to reduce risk and remain compliant. Satori’s new capabilities provide companies with the tools to take a more proactive approach to protect their sensitive data.
