Superna Leads the Future of Data Security
In 2016, Superna pioneered a new frontier in cybersecurity with the creation of the Cyberstorage Gartner In 2016, Superna pioneered a new frontier in cybersecurity that put data at the center of the strategy. With the creation of the Cyberstorage Gartner category in 2022—an industry milestone–this new approach became a redefinition of how enterprises can protect their most critical asset: data. Nearly a decade later, as data continues to outpace traditional security models in complexity and volume, we’re proud to unveil our latest innovation: Data Attack Surface Management (DASM).
This is more than a product launch—it’s a paradigm shift that will reshape how organizations think about risk, exposure, and data protection.
From Cyberstorage to Data Security Leadership
When Superna introduced Cyberstorage to the world, we foresaw the inevitable: that the growing sprawl of unstructured data across hybrid environments would become the most significant and underprotected attack surface. Since then, we’ve stayed ahead of the curve—delivering continuous innovation in ransomware detection, Data Exfiltration, and AI driven threat intelligence.
We take the trust our customers put in us very seriously – and we’re humbled to be recognized by analysts and the broader cybersecurity ecosystem. Today, we’re not just participants in the evolving data security market—we’re helping to define it. A proof point? Superna offers seamless integrations with over 15 leading security platforms, including CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Palo Alto Networks.
We also created the industry’s first Cyberstorage Incident Response technology—extending the power of data protection directly into the incident response process. We remain the only vendor delivering this capability at scale.
Why Data Attack Surface Management, and Why Now?
The cybersecurity world is undergoing another seismic shift. Traditional Vulnerability Management has long focused on applications, endpoints, and networks—but has overlooked the crown jewels: the data itself. Superna’s Data Attack Surface Management is purpose-built to address this gap.
Here’s what makes DASM transformative:
- Data-Centric Risk Scoring: DASM goes beyond file types and access patterns. It calculates true business risk by correlating data classification, sensitivity, access behavior, threat signals, and exposure metrics.
- AI-Driven Prioritization: Using machine learning models trained on massive volumes of security telemetry and audit data, DASM continuously reprioritizes remediation efforts based on what matters most to your business.
- Seamless CTEM Integration: As described in our vision for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), DASM becomes the cornerstone for exposing and remediating risks tied to the data layer—the last mile of security.
Exposure Management Reimagined
With the rise of Exposure Management, organizations are shifting from reactive patching to proactive risk reduction. But current CTEM approaches lack one critical layer: data visibility and context.
Superna is closing that gap.
By introducing Data Risk Scores, DASM maps the relationships between users, systems, and data assets to pinpoint where exposure is both most dangerous—and most preventable. Whether it’s identifying sensitive datasets via data classification and analyzing host or user access paths through misconfigured SMB shares, or exposing blast-radius risks from compromised credentials, DASM empowers intelligent remediation with full data context.
Changing the Game, Again
Superna’s mission has always been bold: secure the unsecureable. In 2016, we created the Cyberstorage category. In 2025, we’re rewriting the rules of exposure management.
Data Exposure Management is not just a new product—it’s a call to action for every organization that understands the true value and risk of their data.
We invite you to explore what’s next—and join us as we lead the charge into the future of data-centric security.
