About

Theom detects active data breaches, and protects your business

Theom is the first security product that detects active threats to data and prevents breaches from modern data infrastructures (cloud and SaaS). Enterprise security is blind to sensitive data in data lakes, warehouses, object stores, and databases and how data is used or abused. As a result, attackers can bypass even best-in-class security (e.g., egress controls) and perpetuate breaches. As more sensitive data moves to the cloud and SaaS, the frequency and cost of data breaches have also grown.

Theom is for cloud security teams and security operations center (SOC) teams who need visibility into the modern data infrastructure, and need to detect and prevent data breaches. With Theom, these teams gain visibility into sensitive data, can identify and prioritize the risks to data, trim over-provisioned access, detect active threats (TTPs) to data, and stop an active threat in its tracks. Theom maps all active threats to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and reports incidents into existing SIEM/SOAR and ITSM tools.

Theom is the only security product that lives inside customers’ data lakes and warehouses, which enables it to deliver the best protection against data breaches. Theom is agentless and has no impact on applications.
