Cyberhaven AI & Data Security Platform
Unified data security platform combining DSPM, DLP, insider risk management, and AI security, using data lineage to trace data across endpoints, cloud, SaaS, and AI tools.
Cyberhaven AI & Data Security Platform Overview
The Cyberhaven AI & Data Security Platform is a unified data protection system that combines Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Insider Risk Management (IRM), and AI security in a single product. Its distinguishing mechanism is data lineage: rather than relying on content inspection alone, the platform records every event for each piece of data, tracing its origin and every copy, edit, transformation, and transfer to classify and protect it wherever it moves.
Visibility comes from three deployment modes that operate together: cloud API connectors for sanctioned SaaS such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, a lightweight endpoint agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and a browser extension for web applications. The platform extracts text and runs optical character recognition (OCR) on images, then layers data lineage context over content identifiers for PII, PCI, and PHI. Linea AI, built on proprietary Large Lineage Models (LLiM), detects risky activity and launches investigations that reconstruct screen activity and data history into incident reports.
SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO/IEC 27701:2019, and PCI DSS v4.0.1 certified, with documentation available through a SafeBase-hosted Trust Center. Named customers include Motorola, Cooley, Navan, and VaxCare. Founded in 2016 by security researchers from EPFL, Cyberhaven targets enterprise security teams that need to govern sensitive data and AI usage across hybrid and SaaS environments.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesApplies sensitivity labels to data automatically based on content analysis and context without requiring users to manually classify documents before policy enforcement.
Discovers and enforces data policies for content stored in or transiting through cloud applications and storage, extending DLP coverage to SaaS environments without endpoint agents.
Monitors and enforces data movement policies on endpoints, blocking or logging USB transfers, clipboard operations, print jobs, and screen captures of content matching classification policies.
Detects and controls sensitive data entered into generative AI tools, applying block, redact, or warn actions before data leaves the organization.
Extracts text from images, scanned PDFs, and screenshots to classify and detect sensitive data that would bypass text-pattern matching.
Correlates DLP policy violations with user behavioral context, distinguishing routine data movement from anomalous exfiltration patterns associated with insider threat or account compromise.
Traces how sensitive data moves between storage locations, services, and users, surfaces unexpected cross-region transfers, shadow copies, and retention policy violations.
Discovers and classifies sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI data, IP) across cloud object storage, relational and NoSQL databases, data lakes, and SaaS platforms using content inspection and ML classification.
Connects to cloud object storage, data warehouses, on-premises databases, and SaaS platforms for discovery and classification, with coverage depth varying by product.
Identifies sensitive data in locations outside authorized data stores, development databases containing production PII, unprotected S3 prefixes, forgotten data lake partitions.
