Global cybersecurity software and services firm, Fortra, has announced the release of its new Data Security Posture Management solution through which companies can discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across hybrid and cloud environments.
Sensitive data is growing in innumerable shadow repositories, applications, and environments as companies use an increasing number of hybrid cloud architectures. Organizations today must understand where their critical data is located, how it’s accessed, how it’s used, and how it’s protected. Traditional data protection methods aren’t enough in today’s fast-changing and spread-out environments. They can even create weaknesses that cyber attackers take advantage of.
“Fortra’s DSPM solution extends the company’s broad security portfolio by addressing one of the most important challenges facing the modern enterprise: maintaining visibility and control over data in ever more complex, distributed environments.

“Data is everything for modern businesses, but it’s also the primary target for today’s sophisticated threat actors,” said Matt Reck, CEO at Fortra. “Our new DSPM solution gives organizations unprecedented visibility and awareness of what data they have and where, and unmatched control of that data. In an era where the volume and usefulness of data is exploding in front of our eyes, so too are the scale and sophistication of threats. We believe visibility and control of data itself will form the backbone of the modern organization’s security posture, and we are very excited to lead this shift in the market.”
Fortra’s DSPM solution finds data in on-premises, cloud, and hybrid settings. It classifies sensitive info smartly and keeps an eye on data security all the time. These capabilities provide real-time insights into data risks and compliance gaps. They help organizations fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
This solution integrates smoothly into Fortra’s security portfolio. It helps customers adopt a more complete approach to securing their infrastructure and data assets.
“The challenge of protecting data is multifaceted: it’s knowing where it is every second, who has access to it, what they can do with it, and whether it’s adequately protected,” noted John Grancarich, Chief Strategy Officer at Fortra. “Our DSPM solution transforms data security from a reactive process into a proactive, intelligence-driven discipline that gives organizations the confidence to innovate and grow while in parallel protecting their most valuable data assets.”
