Quick Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Lightbeam platform different from legacy file-access auditing tools like Varonis?
Legacy tools scan permissions but ignore data context. The Lightbeam platform links each permission to sensitive content and the person it represents through the Data identity Graph. This reveals who has access to whose data, prioritizes risk, and automates remediation with policy workflows, reducing unauthorized access by up to 90%.
Explore Data Identity GraphCan the Lightbeam platform revoke access automatically when risk thresholds are exceeded?
Yes. Policies watch for open, external, or excessive access. When triggered, the platform changes the permissions at the source, notifies owners, logs the action, and verifies closure. Automation enforces consistency and cuts exposure time drastically.
