How quickly can Cyera be deployed and show initial results?

According to Valvoline's experience, Cyera was essentially plug-and-play, taking only 10 minutes to deploy. Within that initial setup, they were able to identify over 11-12 million unused data records, demonstrating immediate time-to-value for data discovery and classification.

How does Cyera support AI governance initiatives?

Cyera provides the data intelligence foundation needed before rolling out AI. It enables organizations to understand what data exists, who has access to it, and where sensitive information like PII resides—allowing security teams to establish proper policies, processes, and controls to effectively govern AI usage.

So as we look at like, how do we manage continuous growth of our data? It's through a tool like Sierra, you know, from a Babylon, we are in heavy growth mode. As we've shifted to a retail only organization, privacy is a top initiative on our end. The big piece that Sierra is doing is as we understand our environment and the data within it, it's helping us make those data-driven decisions. And by having Sierra to help us classify and inventory that, it's been a huge win. We've assessed Sierra against a couple other big players in the market. Sierra was pretty much plug and play. After it took 10 minutes to get Sierra in, we were able to identify we have a lot of data that is unused. I think it was over like 11, 12 million unused records. The more data you have, the more discoverable it is. We were trying to identify, this is my SharePoint versus the other company's SharePoint site. With Sierra, we were actually to sit there and say, this is global operations data versus retail. It's always scanning in around 98% of our environment that we allow it to manage. It's telling us this new data that's coming in, right? We're looking at it from a daily, weekly perspective to see new risks, new issues. From a security standpoint, it's been a huge win. As we roll out AI, data intelligence is a foundational item for us to make sure that we have the proper policies and processes in place to effectively govern the AI. Prior to Sierra, we really didn't have the ability to manage this. For us to be able to go to the legal team and say, hey, yes, we know that this person has access or, hey, we have the PII that sits over here. We're now going to sit there and put better protections and controls around it. It's huge. It's been cool to see reading the white papers that Sierra has put out, allowing me to have those intelligent conversations with others within the business. And with Sierra, it's been fun. I'll be honest, I feel like I'm ahead of the curve, right? Which is awesome to show to the executives and to the board that we're ahead of a lot of other organizations that are trying to do this. It's keeping me excited to do what I do.

TL;DR

Valvoline deployed Cyera in just 10 minutes and immediately discovered over 11-12 million unused data records, demonstrating rapid time-to-value for data discovery.
The platform continuously scans 98% of Valvoline's managed environment, providing daily and weekly visibility into emerging data risks and new data ingestion.
Cyera serves as a foundational capability for Valvoline's AI governance strategy, enabling proper policies and controls before rolling out AI initiatives.

Summary

In this customer spotlight, Corey Kaemming, Senior Director and CISO at Valvoline, shares how the Fortune 1,000 motor oil company is leveraging Cyera's data security platform to support rapid business transformation. Following Valvoline's shift to a retail-only organization, privacy has become a top initiative, and Cyera has emerged as a foundational tool for data classification and inventory management. Kaemming highlights the platform's ease of deployment, noting that within ten minutes of implementation, the team discovered over 11-12 million unused data records—a significant finding for reducing data exposure risk.
