Why Teams Choose CyberhavenOver Cyera

Cyberhaven provides a comprehensive, natively-built AI and data security platform that unifies DLP, IRM, DSPM, and AI security capabilities across the entire data lifecycle via a single console. The platform offers rapid time-to-value and reduces workload through AI-enhanced policy automation, all while supporting a rapidly expanding base of connectors.

Full Data Lineage

Cyberhaven is able to track data at-rest, In-use, and In-motion. Also tracks data from origin (provenance) through every copy, paste, and upload, regardless of file name changes.

Cloud-to-endpoint coverage

Cyberhaven offers deep coverage across On-Prem, web, Cloud, and Endpoints. Whereas others may only offer agentless approaches, Cyberhaven provides agentless functionality along with a mature, lightweight, high-performance agent giving customers the best of both.

Holistic Platform

Experience seamless AI and data protection with a natively-built (not acquired) platform that simplifies DLP, IRM, and DSPM across every environment—from local devices to the entire cloud stack.

Cyberhaven

Cyera

Data Visibility & History

Full Data Lineage: Cyberhaven tracks data from origin (provenance) through every copy, paste, and upload, regardless of file name changes.

No Data Lineage: Cyera sees data where it resides (at-rest) but loses the "breadcrumbs" once the data moves, is used, or is transformed.

Real-Time Enforcement

Real-Time Blocking & Alerting: Cyberhaven provides native, in-line blocking to stop exfiltration at the endpoint in real-time.

No Native Blocking: Cyera identifies risks but often lacks the native "teeth" to stop a data leak in progress without 3rd party help.

Infrastructure Coverage

Endpoint-to-Cloud: Offers deep coverage across On-Prem, web, Cloud, and Endpoints with a mature, lightweight, high-performance agent.

Cloud-Centric Bias: Often struggles with on-premise environments. Does not have native endpoint visibility. Agent capability being built but not mature.

Scanning & Freshness

Continuous Visibility: Focuses on "Data-in-Motion" with high scan frequency and live user behavior tracking.

Snapshot Scans: Known for longer intervals (up to 90 days), creating a "blind spot" between snapshots.

Classification Customization

Data Customization: Uses AI-driven, prompt-based classifiers and customizable scan frequencies for specific business needs.

Limited Classification: Lengthy process to incorporate custom labels. Does have an intelligent ability to learn labels.

Holistic Platform

Unified Platform (Built, not bought): DLP and DSPM both built in-house and are tightly integrated as one platform for better performance and user experience.

3rd Party Dependencies: Omni DLP is reliant on external tools for DLP enforcement. Also requires separate interface (no one pane of glass). Added costs due to 3rd party reliance.
