Myriad360 & Cyera launch AI-powered data security tool for AWS
Myriad360 and Cyera have announced the launch of the Data Security Health Assessment (DSHA), an AI-powered service designed to provide enterprises with rapid insight into their data security posture in AWS environments. The DSHA leverages Cyera's Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform and operates as a turnkey service. It enables organisations to detect and classify sensitive information, enforce compliance requirements, and enhance operational efficiencies across cloud-native infrastructures such as Amazon S3 and RDS. The solution processes over 120 file formats and automates risk identification, aiding in the formulation of remediation plans without manual effort. This new service aims to address the challenges that enterprises face as they scale up their artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives and cloud migrations. Fast and accurate data discovery, coupled with actionable insights for compliance, are core to DSHA's offering, with the solution reportedly delivering results within hours. Assessing data risk The platform has been deployed in operational environments where it identified over 9.3 million sensitive records shortly after rollout. During the same deployment, it uncovered 357 vulnerable data stores, 63 of which were classified as ghost datastores. According to Myriad360, the DSHA reduced manual triage time and the frequency of data loss prevention (DLP) false positives by as much as 80%, and also flagged the presence of European PII stored outside of GDPR-compliant locations. DSHA's integration with AWS means customers benefit from seamless compatibility with their existing AWS-native infrastructure. The intention, both companies state, is to enable organisations to adopt advanced solutions for data protection and AI readiness at scale without compromising security standards. Executive perspectives Heather Case-Hall, Technical Author & Data Security Leader at Myriad360, emphasised the importance of robust security measures, particularly with the expansion of AI capabilities in enterprises. She said, Our clients face increasing pressure to reduce risk and prove compliance - especially with emerging AI adoption. This collaboration with Cyera allows us to deliver not just visibility, but a clear remediation roadmap that bridges security and business outcomes. The role of contextual understanding of data was highlighted by Troy Gabel, Head of DLP at Cyera. He remarked, Security leaders today need more than just protection - they need clarity and control over their data so they can move fast without taking on unnecessary risk. Cyera's unique strength is context - we don't just show where data lives, but who can access it, how it's being used, and what it means to the business. With Myriad360's DSHA framework, we're turning that vision into action and delivering measurable impact in complex AWS environments - fast. Tim Donovan, AWS Cloud Success Manager at Myriad360, underscored the scalability and automation provided by the solution. He commented, Myriad360 is committed to helping customers meet their security and compliance needs with scalable, automated solutions. The Myriad360 DSHA powered by Cyera brings an innovative offering to AWS customers looking to mature their data protection and AI readiness. The impact of offering DSHA via AWS Marketplace was described by Alpesh Shah, VP of Security Strategic Alliance at Myriad360, who stated, Myriad360 truly understands the power of the AWS Marketplace and its ability to simplify the procurement of SaaS solutions. With this new marketplace offering in collaboration with Cyera, Myriad360 has expanded its AWS relationship, enabling clients to leverage this unique solution. We encourage customers to take advantage of Myriad360's security engineering expertise. Cloud environments and compliance The DSHA's objective is to streamline compliance and data security in line with growing demands for cloud-based infrastructure and AI-driven workloads. Organisations deploying large-scale AI projects need to ensure they do not inadvertently expose sensitive or regulated data, and the DSHA is positioned as a tool for facilitating this process within AWS frameworks. By rapidly surfacing security risks and providing a framework for actionable remediation, Myriad360 and Cyera are aiming to strengthen enterprise cloud strategies, ensuring that organisations achieve greater transparency and control over their data assets as compliance regulations and operational requirements continue to evolve.

Proofpoint Joins the Wiz Integration Network (WIN) to Strengthen Cloud Data Security
New bi-directional integration unifies rich cloud security context from Wiz with deep data insights from Proofpoint to provide a complete picture of cloud data risk. SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today announced the general availability of a powerful integration between its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution and Wiz, a leader in cloud security. As part of the Wiz Integration Network (WIN), the partnership delivers bi-directional enrichment between Proofpoint DSPM and Wiz's Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), providing joint customers with unprecedented visibility, contextual insights, and control over sensitive data in the cloud. Cloud data risks are top of mind for today's CISOs, and with good reason. According to Wiz's recent cloud data security report, 54% of cloud environments have exposed virtual machines or serverless instances containing sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) or payment information. Even more alarming, 61% of organizations have confidential information exposed in public repositories. With data volumes and sprawl increasing exponentially, organizations face mounting challenges in protecting sensitive information comprehensively across cloud environments. Proofpoint's integration with Wiz fuses data-centric intelligence from Proofpoint with the rich, prioritized context from the Wiz platform, which unifies all risk signals across the cloud environment. With this unified context, security teams can more accurately quantify the risk of data exposure, hefty regulatory fines, and breaches, and allocate remediation resources with confidence. "Traditional approaches, which often rely on metadata or sample scans, fall short in an environment where adversaries can weaponize any weak point," said Amer Deeba, group vice president and general manager of DSPM at Proofpoint. "Combining Wiz's cloud security insights with Proofpoint's data classification enables security teams to see what sensitive data is stored where, who can access it, and the risks associated with it. This integration shifts the paradigm toward comprehensive risk visibility so that teams can make better, faster decisions backed by high-fidelity data." "Wiz gives organizations deep visibility into their cloud environments, while Proofpoint brings rich insight into the sensitive data that lives there," said Oron Noah, vice president of Product & Extensibility at Wiz. "Together, we help customers understand where their most critical risks are and can take the right steps to protect them. It's a powerful combination for staying ahead of cloud risks and keeping sensitive data secure." A Unified Risk Lens for Joint Customers, Designed for Today's Multi-Cloud Reality The integration between Proofpoint DSPM and Wiz, available today, delivers powerful bi-directional enrichment, enabling joint customers to gain comprehensive visibility into their cloud data risk landscape. Proofpoint ingests Wiz Issues that combines multiple risks like vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other risks and contextualizes this with data exposure findings, while simultaneously sending advanced data classification and sensitivity scoring back to Wiz to enhance risk prioritization across cloud data stores like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure. Unlike traditional tools that rely on data sampling, Proofpoint DSPM provides full and continuous scanning of both structured and unstructured data. This enables 100% visibility into what sensitive data exists, how it is classified, and its monetary value—insights that are critical for compliance, post-breach investigations, and proactive risk reduction. This mutual exchange gives security teams a unified risk view and strengthens their ability to detect, prioritize, and mitigate threats more effectively. Proofpoint's DSPM also supports broader integration across its cybersecurity ecosystem—including email security, endpoint DLP, and insider threat management—ensuring seamless protection across vectors. Proofpoint also supports SaaS applications and platforms like Databricks, ensuring broad visibility into sensitive data wherever it lives, not just in cloud infrastructure. Key joint customer benefits include: Unified Risk Assessment: Combined CNAPP and DSPM insights surface critical risks across cloud data environments. Enhanced Security Posture: Better visibility leads to smarter, faster remediation decisions. Actionable Insights: Contextual data enhances security workflows and risk severity assessments. Advanced Classification: Proofpoint's insights include sensitivity scores, data value, and breach likelihood.
