Data Breach & Ransomware Protection
Prevent breaches and ransomware by controlling access to sensitive data.
Untracked Access and Fast Attacks Put Data at Risk
Hidden Risk Everywhere
Shadow data, open shares, and forgotten backups let attackers in to steal at scale.
Ransomware Moves Fast
High-velocity encryption spreads in minutes, while alerts without context arrive too late.
Victim Trust Evaporates
Lost data means lost customers. Reputation damage lingers long after the breach response.
Reduce Breach Surface and Contain Ransomware Instantly
90%
Less exposed data
Cut risk by reducing open, overshared, and overretained files with sensitive data.
75%
Faster ransomware containment
Detect encryption surges, isolate compromised accounts, and contain threats in seconds.
95%
Breach cost avoided
Limit the blast radius of incidents and determine exactly what data and whose data was compromised.
“If a data breach occurred, it could have been a $100,000 issue. Now, with the Lightbeam platform, the cost of potential breaches becomes zero.”

“Lightbeam dramatically improved our PCI compliance processes, enabling accurate, efficient audits, and rapid response to potential compliance risks.”
“Lightbeam can cover 90% of processes we were doing with four different tools, meaning we can cut back on the tools and resources needed to perform and scale.”
Quick Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lightbeam detect a breach faster than traditional DLP?
Unlike DLP tools that look only at content patterns, the Lightbeam Data Identity Graph maps every sensitive element to its owner and typical access context. When an unusual movement or sharing event occurs, the platform raises an alert within minutes and can trigger automated remediation workflows. This contextual approach spots breaches early while reducing false positives.
Out PlatformCan we deploy the platform on-premises to keep data and metadata inside our own walls?
Yes. Lightbeam supports SaaS, private cloud, and fully on-premises deployments. With private cloud and on-premises deployments, your data never leaves your control.
Explore Our PlatformDoes Risk Scoring automatically revoke access when a file is risky?
Risk Scoring surfaces risk based on the content’s sensitivity and customizable weighting you define. It does not directly revoke access. Security teams can, however, build policies that act on high-risk scores, such as alerting, labeling, or revoking permissions, using the playbooks engine in the Lightbeam platform.
