Do you have visibility of all connected users, devices, data and services across your network?

Lightning IQ enhances visibility into unstructured data across storage systems.

Are you regularly scanning all the data on your network, including backups and archives, to ensure it is not harboring malware and has not been tampered with?

Lightning IQ’s scanning capabilities can complement malware detection by identifying sensitive or risky data.

Do you monitor all data leaving your devices and networks to prevent unwanted leaks (e.g. being copied to USB sticks)?

Lightning IQ helps identify which data is most at risk if exfiltrated.

Are you regularly performing risk assessments to measure your threat exposure (including those from your supply chain, users, business partners and customers)?

Lightning IQ identifies sensitive and high-risk data, helping quantify exposure.

Do you track all systems, services, users, and contact lists to ensure anything unwanted or expired is deactivated or disabled?

Lightning IQ helps identify redundant or orphaned data that may no longer be needed.

Have you properly documented and regulated which users require access to which systems, data and other services (following the principle of least privilege)?

Lightning IQ can help map data ownership and access patterns.
