The proliferation of artificial intelligence has created an unprecedented challenge for enterprise security teams, as sensitive data now moves at machine speed in countless snippets and derivatives across a fragmented landscape of endpoints, cloud applications, and on-premise systems. Responding to this escalating risk, Cyberhaven announced on February 5, 2026, the launch of its Unified AI and Data Security Platform, a comprehensive solution engineered to bring clarity and control to this chaotic environment. The platform’s centerpiece is a new Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution, which is not a standalone product but is deeply integrated with the company’s existing data loss prevention (DLP), insider risk management (IRM), and AI security capabilities. According to CEO Nishant Doshi, the very nature of AI magnifies data risk to a point where traditional security controls, such as manual data tagging and labeling, have become largely ineffective. This new, unified architecture aims to provide security teams with the continuous visibility, rich context, and automated control necessary to manage and protect data wherever it flows.
A New Paradigm in Data Visibility
A significant differentiator for Cyberhaven’s platform lies in its core technology, which moves beyond the limited scope of conventional security tools by combining comprehensive data lineage with sophisticated agentic AI. Unlike many standalone DSPM solutions that offer a narrow view focused primarily on cloud storage environments, Cyberhaven’s approach is designed to capture the full, unabridged history of corporate data. This technology traces information from its moment of creation, meticulously tracking every subsequent modification, copy, and transfer as it moves between users, applications, and infrastructure. Whether data resides on a local endpoint, is being processed in a SaaS application, or is stored in a multi-cloud environment, the platform maps its entire journey. This complete historical record, or data lineage, provides an unparalleled level of context, forming the foundational intelligence layer upon which the platform’s more advanced security functions are built, enabling a shift from reactive incident response to proactive data risk management.
Building upon this rich contextual foundation, the platform’s agentic AI analyzes the complete data lineage to accurately interpret the nature and significance of information in real time. This AI-driven engine goes beyond simple pattern matching to understand precisely what the data is, its business importance, and its associated risk profile based on its content, origin, and flow. This deep understanding dramatically reduces the persistent problem of false positives that plagues many security systems, freeing up security teams to concentrate their efforts on investigating genuine threats rather than chasing down benign alerts. The platform leverages this intelligence to detect risky data flows that might otherwise go unnoticed, streamline incident investigations with a clear and complete audit trail, and guide automated response actions. These responses can be implemented with precision, securing sensitive information without causing unnecessary disruption to legitimate business operations, ensuring that security enables rather than hinders productivity.
Comprehensive Benefits and Enhanced Services
For organizations navigating the complexities of modern data security, the unified platform delivers a suite of tangible benefits designed to address the most pressing challenges. It empowers security teams to discover and continuously assess sensitive data across their entire digital estate, providing a single, authoritative view of where critical information resides and how it is being used. This visibility is crucial for minimizing data exposure, as the platform can automatically identify redundant, obsolete, or over-shared data, allowing for timely remediation. Furthermore, as businesses increasingly adopt generative AI, Cyberhaven provides essential guardrails to ensure this is done securely, offering clear visibility into how AI models are interacting with corporate data. The platform also enhances insider risk detection by analyzing user behavior within the full context of data movement, distinguishing between normal activity and potentially malicious or accidental data exfiltration. Finally, it strengthens data loss prevention with real-time, explainable enforcement actions that can stop unauthorized data transfers before they occur.
In conjunction with the platform launch, Cyberhaven introduced a set of new customer experience offerings designed to accelerate time-to-value and enhance the maturity of its clients’ security programs. These included Turnkey Services, which provided organizations with expert assistance to ensure rapid and effective deployment, and a specialized Insider Threat Intelligence Service. This latter service furnished clients with ongoing insights and analysis to help them stay ahead of emerging threats and evolving tactics used by internal actors. The immediate availability of the unified platform, supported by these new services, marked a significant step forward in empowering security teams. It offered them a cohesive and intelligent solution that not only addressed the data security challenges of the present but also provided a resilient framework for navigating the future of work in an increasingly AI-driven world.
