Laminar Scales Enterprise Data Security Platform With New Management Features

Laminar Data Security Platform Becomes First DSPM Solution to Meet Multi-User and Scaling Requirements within Large Enterprises with Tens of Thousands of Cloud Data Stores

Organizations have adopted multi-cloud infrastructure to accommodate the voracious need for data, fueled by the exploratory demands of data scientists, the creative energies of engineers, and the quickening pace of innovation. For many, it’s become common to have petabytes of data distributed within the cloud.  

Yet, managing this diverse environment creates challenges for the security, privacy and governance teams charged with protecting data.  Unfortunately, the evidence shows we’re not doing a good job!  According to Laminar research, more than 75% of organizations experienced a cloud data breach in 2023, which speaks for itself.

Further, as companies move towards cloud-based data storage solutions, they are faced with the challenge of securing their data in a complex environment that is constantly changing and evolving. Laminar’s recent announcement of new features for its cloud-native Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform is a step towards meeting this challenge head-on.

Laminar has become the first cloud-native DSPM solution to meet stringent and demanding enterprise requirements. The platform’s new features address multi-business-unit, multinational requirements of all stakeholders, including executives, data security managers, and GRC personnel with scalable data security for the cloud.

“With the sheer complexity and scope of data security challenges faced by businesses today, it’s no wonder that three in four organizations experienced a cloud data breach in 2022”, said Amit Shaked, CEO and co-founder of Laminar.  “Clearly organizations are needing a more scalable, sustainable approach to discovering and governing cloud data.”

To achieve comprehensive large enterprise cloud data management, a DSPM must include summarized global data risk reporting as well as drilled-down views based on data sensitivity, security posture or other factors. The Laminar Platform enables executives to view the entire organization by various attributes such as business unit, environment, geography, application team, and data type. This enables centralized data security teams and CISOs to see where the biggest security gaps are.

Laminar Executive Data Landscape Dashboard

The Laminar Executive Data Landscape Dashboard is one of the new features that enable this summarized global view for executives and CISOs responsible for understanding risks across the organization. This dashboard highlights data risk, exposure, and sensitivity across all business units, accounts, and environments. It enables data security teams to filter and group accounts by common security requirements and posture, focusing attention where it’s most needed. The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of the organization’s data, which is critical for making informed decisions about security policies and procedures.

Role Based Access Control (RBAC)

Another new feature that addresses the challenges of securing cloud-based data is Best-in-class RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) support. The Laminar Platform ensures only authorized users can view or edit data policies or take remediation actions in the Laminar app and administer the system. For decentralized organizations, security and compliance teams can also segment and assign permissions based on account group to further filter access by attributes such as business unit, sub-tenant, account, data sensitivity, geography, etc. in addition to the user role. This allows granular filtering of views and permissions to fit the unique organizational structure and risk profiles of respective business units.
