What Organizations are achieving with Symmetry
Real practitioners. Real environments. No logos required.
See what your data and security teams are missing
The Problem
AI agents authenticate via shared service accounts your IAM treats as trusted infrastructure — no session, no MFA, no individual identity to inspect.
The Symmetry Solution
Continuously discover and classify sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises. Know your posture in real time — not at the next audit.
The Symmetry Solutions
Security Without Limits
We go where your data lives.
Most security tools ask you to send your data to them. Symmetry works the other way around — we deploy inside your environment so sensitive data never crosses a boundary it shouldn’t.
Why Symmetry
Four things only Symmetry does
These aren’t features. They’re architectural decisions that took years to build — and that competitors haven’t caught up to.
The only DSPM with a unified Identity × Data graph
Every other DSPM shows you data risk in isolation. Symmetry fuses your data estate with your full identity graph — humans, service accounts, AI agents, third-party vendors — so you see not just what’s exposed, but exactly who can reach it and what they’d do with it.
Native AI agent visibility — not retrofitted
Other vendors bolt AI detection onto a platform built for human access patterns. Symmetry’s data model was designed from day one to treat AI agents as first-class principals — with their own identity, access graph, scope policies, and audit trail.
Control and Custody of your Data at all times
Every other DSPM requires metadata to leave your environment. Symmetry can run fully isolated — no external network dependency, ever. This unlocks defence, federal, and healthcare environments that no other DSPM can serve.
Remediation built in — not a separate product
Most DSPM platforms stop at findings. Symmetry closes the loop: DataEnforce automatically remediates misconfigurations, revokes excess permissions, and enforces policy — without requiring a separate DLP or PAM tool.
