Top DSPM solutions include Concentric AI, Cyera, Microsoft Purview, Securiti, Sentra, Spirion, Symmetry Systems, Theom, Varonis, and Wiz. DSPM solutions are a hot space for mergers and acquisitions—events such as Crowdstrike buying Flow Security, Formstack buying Open Raven, IBM buying Polar Security, Proofpoint buying Normalyze, Palo Alto Networks buying Dig Security, Rubrik buying Laminar, and Tenable acquiring Eureka Security.

DSPM extends data compliance to dark data
“DSPM is an independent security layer, agnostic to infrastructure, that protects sensitive data and ensures consistent controls no matter where data travels,” says Yoav Regev, co-founder and CEO of Sentra. “It assesses exposure risks, identifies who has access to company data, classifies how data is used, ensures compliance with regulatory requirements like GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA, and continuously monitors data for emerging threats.”
