Symmetry Systems named 2026 SC Award Winner for Best Data Security Solution

Symmetry Systems – The Data+AI Security Company

Secure Data. Control Agents.
Unleash AI.

You can’t truly secure your data or govern your AI without knowing who or what can reach both. Symmetry unifies identity, data, and AI risk into one view – so you can act, not just observe.

What Organizations are achieving with Symmetry

Real practitioners. Real environments. No logos required.

See what your data and security teams are missing

The Problem

Your AI agents aren't
being authenticated.
authorized to access that data.
leaving an audit trail.
identifiable to your IAM.
operating within any scope limit.
visible to your SIEM or DLP.

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

Symmetry
discovers and classifies every data store.
enforces least-privilege automatically.
governs every AI agent and copilot.
detects threats in real time.

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.
