Cloud storage misconfigurations and hidden data create risk.

DataDefender

The DSPM for Cloud Storage

DataDefender is a storage DSPM that runs in your environment to map AWS storage inventory (S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, Glacier), classify sensitive data, monitor S3 activity in real time, and enforce 90+ storage security checks. It’s agentless, deploys via CloudFormation, and operates in-tenant with no data egress. Get audit-ready evidence for stakeholders without slowing teams down.

What is DSPM for Cloud Storage?

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for cloud storage focuses on data at rest in services like Amazon S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, and Glacier.

A storage-first DSPM continuously builds inventory, maps sensitive data, monitors activity (who accessed what, when, where), and runs automated configuration checks to reduce data exposure and speed investigations without moving data out of your environment.

How DataDefender Works

With DataDefender’s Activity Monitoring, you finally get full visibility into who is accessing what, when, and where in your cloud storage.

Monitor & Investigate: Track activity in real time and accelerate investigations with actor-time-object evidence to uncover risky behavior before it becomes a breach
Map & Check: Identify sensitive data and run 90+ security configuration checks.
Discover: Enumerate AWS storage across accounts and regions (S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, Glacier).

One platform. Real control over your cloud storage.

Storage Visibility & Control Made Easy

Gain clarity over data at rest with a storage first DSPM. Build a live AWS storage inventory, map likely sensitive data in Amazon S3, monitor activity in real time, and continuously evaluate 90 plus automated security checks. Designed for simplicity, scale, and evidence you can use.

Quick & Easy Setup

Protect Users in 15 Minutes or Less

Up and running in minutes. Connect through a guided CloudFormation setup with no agents and no customer managed infrastructure in your accounts. Most teams build their first inventory and see activity quickly.

How to Deploy

Know What’s Sensitive & How It’s Used
Investigate Without Disruption

Understand where likely sensitive data lives in Amazon S3 and how it is being accessed. Classification uses S3 metadata to flag higher risk objects, and activity monitoring shows who did what, when, and where without slowing teams or workflows.

Unified Inventory Across AWS Storage
Start reviews with facts, not scavenger hunts. See inventory and configuration visibility across Amazon S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, and S3 Glacier from a single console.

Why the Lack of Cloud Monitoring Causes Data Breaches

In the past 6 months, a number of high-profile data breaches, namely cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, have resulted in the loss of millions of records and millions of dollars in fines, pipeline depletion, and restitution for the affected customers. In many ways, these data breaches are not the result of a lack of commitment to security by these companies, but are rather indicative of the evolving (and improving) tactics utilized by bad actors.

Preventing Internal and External Data Breaches with DataDefender

In the first half of 2025, Casmer Labs, Cloud Storage Security's internal threat laboratory, observed numerous high-profile data breaches and cybersecurity incidents that could be attributed to the lack of proactive activity monitoring. In the eyes of the press, the most popular example was the Coinbase attack, where overseas support staff exfiltrated sensitive data on behalf of cyber actors. On May 15, 2025, the day of its public disclosure, Coinbase (COIN) shares dropped 7% due to concerns about internal policies and an ongoing SEC investigation.
