Expanding On-Prem Data Security: Now Supporting MongoDB

While the shift to the cloud may be accelerating, much of the world’s data remains on-prem. As a critical pillar of IT infrastructure, organizations rely on on-prem databases for their most sensitive customer records, financial data, and proprietary business information.

But unlike a decade ago, many organizations are operating hybrid environments, one foot in the cloud, the other on-prem. This creates challenges in ensuring consistent security, visibility, and compliance into data across all environments. 

Cyera’s mission is to deliver a unified approach to data security—wherever your data resides. While our journey began in the cloud, we are committed to extending our coverage to strengthen security for on-prem databases and file shares. To deliver on this commitment, we’re excited to share that Cyera now supports MongoDB on-prem. 

The Strategic Role of MongoDB in Enterprise IT

MongoDB has become the go-to NoSQL database of choice for many high-performance applications. Its flexibility and scalability make it essential for organizations that rely on MongoDB to handle high-speed, high-volume data while maintaining availability. Common use cases include: 

• Big data analytics, such as supporting AI-driven insights, near real-time data processing, and predictive analytics.
• IoT and edge computing, for managing high-volume, high-velocity sensor and device data.
• Customer-facing applications, enabling low-latency experiences in finance, e-commerce, and media.

How Cyera Secures MongoDB

Cyera’s support for MongoDB on-premises databases offers:

• Frictionless deployment options: Secure your MongoDB on-premises databases without the burden of installing heavy agents in your network.
• AI Capabilities: Apply our AI-powered classification and risk analysis to your on-prem environments, enabling risk-based prioritization for your most critical threats.
• Efficient scanning: Bring visibility into sensitive data at scale, with the ability to efficiently process and analyze petabytes of data in MongoDB.

Cyera enhances the security of your applications and systems powered by MongoDB by:

• Automatically discovering and classifying sensitive data, including PII, financial records, and intellectual property.
• Identifying and mitigating risks, such as overly permissive access controls and unencrypted sensitive data.
• Supporting regulatory compliance by ensuring sensitive data is managed and protected according to data protection regulations.

• Enhancing data access governance by providing visibility into data access and enabling strict access controls.

With MongoDB playing a critical role in many enterprises, securing its data is non-negotiable. Cyera enables organizations to do so with greater ease, at greater scale, and with greater classification precision than ever before.
