What is Symmetry?

Symmetry Systems DataGuard is a Data Security Posture Management solution for modern hybrid-cloud environments. It is designed to help CISO’s and senior IT and business decision makers develop a complete understanding of what data they have, where it is located, how it flows through the environment, who has access to it, how it is secured and in what manner it has been used. With full data visibility and pragmatic steps to remediate, DataGuard is used to enact data security controls, practices and programs to protect sensitive data regardless of location. For organizations with stricter compliance requirements, enforcement of data protection policies can be automated through the platform.
