Cato Networks Adds Cyera DSPM Integration to XOps

Cato Networks has integrated Cyera’s Data Security Posture Management capabilities into Cato XOps, giving enterprise security teams more context around sensitive data when detecting, investigating, and responding to threats.

The integration, announced May 19, embeds Cyera’s data intelligence into Cato XOps, Cato’s combined XDR and AIOps solution. The companies said the goal is to help security teams prioritize alerts not only by user or network activity, but also by the sensitivity and business value of the data involved.

Cato XOps gains Cyera data context

Cato said traditional security tools often generate alerts without enough context to determine whether regulated, sensitive, or high-value business data is at risk. 

That leaves analysts to manually correlate information across disconnected systems, slowing response and making it harder to assess business impact.

By bringing Cyera DSPM telemetry into Cato XOps, customers can view network, endpoint, cloud, and data security signals in one environment. Cato said its platform aggregates large volumes of telemetry in a single data lake, while Cyera adds data classification, sensitivity, and business context.

“Cyera brings actionable data intelligence directly into Cato XOps, giving security teams visibility into the sensitivity and exposure of data involved in security events,” Karl Soderlund, Cato Networks’ global channel chief, told Channel Insider. 

“By combining Cyera’s deep data intelligence and sensitivity insights with Cato’s broad, high-volume telemetry in a single data lake, enterprises can understand not only what happened in an attack chain, but also what sensitive data was involved and the potential business impact.” 

Zero Trust and data security converge

The companies said the integration supports three primary use cases: data-aware detection and response, data-driven Zero Trust enforcement, and unified investigation and remediation.

For detection and response, alerts can be enriched with data sensitivity and context, helping teams prioritize incidents involving regulated or high-value information. For Zero Trust enforcement, visibility into data access paths can support more precise segmentation and least-privilege access controls.

“In today’s distributed environments, data lives across the cloud, SaaS, endpoint, and network. Security teams are overwhelmed with alerts yet often lack context, such as whether sensitive data is at risk,” Soderlund said. 

“By combining Cyera’s data security insights with telemetry from across the Cato SASE Platform, organizations gain a more complete picture of users, devices, network activity, and sensitive data exposure in a single workflow. This helps security teams prioritize the most critical threats and accelerate investigation and response,” he continued.

Partners gain a broader SASE security conversation

For channel partners, MSPs, and security service providers, the integration could strengthen conversations around SASE, XDR, Zero Trust, and data security consolidation. 

Partners advising customers on security operations modernization may be able to position the integration as a way to reduce alert fatigue and improve risk-based response.

“This integration gives organizations a unified view of network, endpoint, cloud, and data security telemetry. Security teams can identify potential data security risks and take direct action without pivoting across multiple security tools,” Soderlund said.

“For partners, this creates an opportunity to expand strategic security conversations beyond infrastructure and into data protection and operational risk reduction.”
