Cyberhaven Insights
What We Do
Cyberhaven was founded by computer scientists and security experts from MIT and EPFL to rethink data security. Instead of stopping threats at the perimeter, we trace the full lineage of sensitive data, where it originates, how it moves, and who uses it. This breakthrough became the foundation of our data lineage platform, now powering Cyberhaven’s leadership in data detection and response and protecting enterprises from insider threats and data loss. Our Data Detection and Response solution transforms how enterprises protect their data with a unique technology called data lineage. Cyberhaven records every event for every piece of data – every move, copy, edit, and share to fully understand how data moves throughout your company. We developed an architecture that achieves complete visibility of your data, including as it transits unmanaged cloud apps and unmanaged devices. As data moves throughout your company, from person to person and application to application, it fragments and gets combined with other data. We calculate the lineage for every piece of data starting with its origin through every step it takes. Our product allows you to define what is risky for your organization, enforce actions to protect data, and educate your workforce in real time.
Why Work With Us
Cyberhaven is a Series D unicorn in AI-driven data security, protecting 300+ customers like Motorola, Reddit, and Snowflake. We solve next-gen DLP by tracing full data lineage and enabling real-time insights. As a value-driven company with remote and hybrid work, you’ll grow alongside bold thinkers, making real impact.
