BigID enables customers to automatically discover, catalog, and classify all types of data and metadata, structured and unstructured. This includes PII, PHI, NPI, IP, and other sensitive, critical, and regulated data. Once the data has been identified, BigID can label and tag data in accordance with the organization’s policies. Atakama can read the labels and immediately encrypt files in whichever location the files are stored. The integration of BigID and Atakama provides a powerful and scalable approach to sensitive data discovery and protection across the entire enterprise.

“BigID together with Atakama provides our customers with a seamless, but multi-faceted approach to data security,” said Marc DeGaetano, CRO at BigID. “This partnership takes data protection to another level and will immediately strengthen an organization’s security posture through unmatched visibility and control.

We’re thrilled to be able to work with BigID to deliver the combined solution to our customers via the BigID App Marketplace, who can trust that their data has been properly identified and securely protected.”
