Data Detection and Response (DDR) by Sentra is a cloud-native tool designed to enable organizations to discover and respond to threats affecting their data in real time. It provides several functions for securing cloud data, including real-time monitoring, data movement detection, and alerting on suspicious activity and anomalies. DDR automatically analyzes log events, alerts on sensitive data movement, and prioritizes the severity of suspicious activities based on contextual understanding. It detects user violations of compliance frameworks or regulatory standards like sovereignty or privacy. DDR identifies data-centric threats that may be missed by other monitoring tools like XDR/EDR/CDR. It supports every stage of the data lifecycle, uniting DSPM, DDR, and DAG functions in a single solution. DDR focuses on identifying and mitigating data security threats, actively monitoring and securing sensitive data, and preventing alert fatigue. It helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations by monitoring cloud environments for data policy violations and flagging them as they occur. DDR protects cloud environments alongside technologies like CNAPP and CSPM, complementing infrastructure, network, and application security efforts.
