Lightning IQ Data Breach

Fast Changes Everything

Breach response: from months to minutes.

In the wake of a cyberattack, the most urgent question is: What was taken? Unfortunately, most organizations can’t answer that for weeks - or even months. And while hackers often don’t know what they’ve stolen, they know that - in most organizations - neither will the CISO or privacy officer. That data "blind-spot" fuels panic, delays a thoughtful response, and increases risk of a large ransom payment - where one might not be warranted.

Lightning IQ changes the game.
With the ability to scan and analyze petabytes of unstructured data in hours—not weeks—Lightning IQ delivers breach clarity at unprecedented speed. Whether it’s PII, financial records, legal documents, or sensitive IP, Lightning IQ identifies what was exposed and where it lived—fast.
