Core Capabilities of AI-Native Modern DSPM

This document is a guide that outlines the core capabilities of AI-native, modern Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). It emphasizes the importance of continuous data discovery, classification, contextual understanding, and data lineage in managing sensitive data across various environments. The guide details how modern DSPM platforms connect to diverse data sources, including cloud infrastructures, SaaS applications, and employee endpoints, ensuring that sensitive data is continuously monitored and classified accurately. It explains the role of AI in enhancing data classification, enabling organizations to assess data sensitivity based on context rather than just content patterns. Furthermore, the guide discusses the significance of understanding data lineage to track how sensitive information moves and transforms, revealing potential risks. It also highlights the integration of identity and access management within DSPM, which allows organizations to better understand who can access sensitive data and under what conditions, ultimately aiding in risk assessment and prioritization.
