When a vulnerability can’t be remediated on a fully automated basis, the platform notifies the team in charge of the affected data repository.
Cyera’s platform also automates several related use cases. It can block risky data movements such as attempts to download code files onto a USB flash drive. Additionally, a tool called AI Guardian ensures that AI agents use the data they access in compliance with cybersecurity policies.
