Hybrid
Enterprise
Architectural & Resiliency Outliers
Vendor
What it does
Deployment
Pricing
Cyberhaven
Unified DSPM + DLP tracing data lineage dynamically as employees create, move, or modify files across endpoints and cloud. Distinct because it follows data movement rather than scanning at-rest data.
Endpoint agent
Enterprise
DataStealth
Network-layer inline approach: real-time discovery, posture assessment, and tokenization without agents or code modifications. Strongest for legacy mainframes and strict data residency environments.
Network-layer (inline)
Enterprise
Rubrik
DSPM built into the production backup stream; classification and ransomware risk analysis on snapshot data without performance overhead on live systems.
Backup-stream integrated
Enterprise
Cohesity
Same backup-stream DSPM model as Rubrik; classification and malware risk analysis on snapshot indexes. Primary differentiation is platform breadth within the Cohesity data management suite.
Backup-stream integrated
