Our take
As businesses take advantage of data and the cloud, they are increasingly encountering difficulties with managing their compliance, data security and privacy. Aside from operational and ethical concerns, companies are regularly punished with huge fines for failures in this area. Securiti exists to make harnessing data safe, using AI to ensure that information is managed in a way that's secure and compliant.
Securiti is not alone in the data protection market. It has larger AI-powered competitors in OneTrust and Immuta, both able to identify and control at-risk data. However, Securiti's platform is unique in bringing together all controls around data in a single command centre. This solution has found favour with numerous Enterpise customers including Cisco, Hertz, Dell and CapitalOne.
Securiti has grown swiftly and raised considerable funds over the years. This has allowed it to expand its headcount, develop its product and increase its market share. And, as concerns surrounding the safe adoption of AI have risen, it has released solutions that specifically target these concerns. This shows that it can keep pace with evolving market needs.
