See Every Move Your Data Makes

Legacy security tools scan data at rest and miss what happens in between: the moment data moves, transforms, and lands somewhere new. Data lineage tracks that complete history, from creation to every place it travels, giving security teams context legacy tools cannot provide. See how VillageMD, Motorola Mobility, and Cooley LLP used data lineage to accelerate investigations and stop insider threats.

What's inside

01

What Data Lineage Is and Where It Came From

  • Defines data lineage as the complete history of data, from creation through every transformation and use.

  • Traces its origins to 1980s geospatial resource surveys and its adoption by database administrators in the 1990s.

  • Covers how Cyberhaven brought data lineage to cybersecurity in 2019 with the first Data Detection and Response solution.

02

How to Build Data Lineage for Security

  • Breaks down the three steps: signal collection, processing and correlation, and querying, alerting, and real-time protection.

  • Compares global lineage, which traces data across the whole organization, to local lineage, limited to one endpoint.

  • Explains the endpoint telemetry and graph database advances that make lineage practical at enterprise scale.

03

How Lineage Transforms Data Security

  • Shows how lineage shifts risk discovery from reactive scanning to continuous, real-time monitoring of data in motion.

  • Explains how lineage adds context to classification, going beyond content and labels to who created data and where it traveled.

  • Covers three case studies: securing ChatGPT at VillageMD, stopping leaks at Motorola Mobility, and protecting client data at Cooley LLP.
