Thales Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Data security platforms (DSPs) combine data discovery, policy definition and policy enforcement across data silos. Policy enforcement capabilities include format-preserving encryption, tokenization and dynamic data masking. These capabilities can be delivered through connectors, agents, proxies and APIs.
Business requirements to leverage data and share data, for example for AI/ML use cases, require data security controls and highly-granular data access which is provisioned fast and humanly understandable. Tight-fitting data access and security controls allow you to reveal and share (leverage) more of your data. However, organizations face sufficient complexity when it comes to provisioning and rightsizing entitlements and data security controls. This extends to data privacy as well as analytics governance and ethics.
The DSP delivers most of the required components critical to enabling good data governance and optimized data security controls while preventing the exponential increase of data access and policy rules.

Our overall experience with Cipher Data Security Platform has been largely positive, especially for data-centric protection and centralized policy control. The platform offers strong encryption and helps secure sensitive data across environments. The interface is fairly intuitive to use and support has been responsive.
