Cyera
AI-native DSPM platform for data discovery, classification, and remediation across multicloud estates.
Technical Architecture & Overview
Cyera builds a continuously updated map of data stores across AWS, Azure, GCP, and SaaS, classifies contents, and correlates exposures with identities and permissions.
