Most businesses don’t know where all their sensitive data lives. From customer PII to financial records scattered across cloud apps and legacy systems, unseen data creates hidden risks for breaches, compliance violations, and cyberattacks.
What Is Sensitive Data Discovery?
It’s the process of finding, classifying, and protecting sensitive data across all environments including on-prem, cloud, or hybrid. With automated tools, you can:• Locate critical data quickly• Classify it by risk level (PII, PHI, PCI)• Take action with encryption or access controls
Why It Matters Now
Three big trends make data discovery critical in 2025:• Data sprawl and shadow IT: Sensitive data hides in countless apps and storage systems• Stricter privacy laws: GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA demand real-time data visibility• AI-powered attacks: Cybercriminals now use AI to exploit unprotected data faster than ever
