That's why security isn't just a feature for us. It's the foundation of everything we build. In this video, I'm going to walk you through some of the key capabilities that protects your most sensitive assets, from how we encrypt data to how we monitor it. Let's get started. BigID's Credential Management transforms data access into a secure, seamless, and scalable operation, enabling a true zero-trust architecture for your sensitive data. By integrating natively with industry leaders like CyberArk, HashiCorp, Azure Key Vault, and more, we allow you to bring your own vault, ensuring that secrets are managed centrally and rotated automatically without disrupting operations. Our unique Remote Credentials capability sets us apart by allowing local scanners to fetch secrets directly from local vaults behind your firewall, keeping your most sensitive keys within their designated security zones, and never exposing them to the central platform or the cloud. Seamlessly integrate BigID with your enterprise identity provider using protocols like SAML or LDAP, ensuring a unified and secure single sign-on experience for all users. These integrations centralize identity management, dramatically simplifies user access, and strengthens your overall security posture to meet strict compliance mandates. Enable swift, governed access to the BigID platform by leveraging your existing identity infrastructure for enterprise-grade authentication and authorization. Security isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is access. That's why our RBAC is built for the enterprise, whether it's restricting managing users for administrators or red-only access to auditors. You have granular control over every button and feature. We make it easy to enforce the principle of least privilege, ensuring your teams can do their jobs without exposing your data. Rest assured that all your data in motion is protected with BigID. We secure every network connection using standard and validated protocols like TLS 1.2 or higher. This ensures that data flowing through BigID is always protected from attacks that aim to capture data while it moves through the network. Standard encryption is good, but for your sensitive data, we go a step further with envelope encryption at the application layer. Think of it as a lock within a lock. We encrypt your data with a unique, temporary key. Then, we encrypt that key with a master key that is rotated periodically. This architecture allows us to rotate keys automatically and independently without rewriting all your data. It significantly limits exposure and ensures that even if one layer is challenged, your data remains secure. Take control of your data security with BigID Bring Your Own Key capability, giving you complete sovereignty over your encryption keys. Seamlessly integrate your own encryption keys, ensuring your sensitive data remains protected on your terms. With BigID Bring Your Own Key capability, you can maintain compliance with stringent regulatory requirements while having the peace of mind that comes from managing your own encryption keys across your entire data landscape. Finally, when you are dealing with highly regulated data, you need more than just our word that it's secure. You need proof. That's why BigID utilizes FIPS validated cryptography. This isn't just a badge. It means the encryption modules protecting your sensitive information meet rigorous government standards. It's verified, validated protection that ensures you are ready for the toughest compliance audits. BigID commitment to security begins with our secure development lifecycle, integrating security considerations into our process for building software from the ground up. Every product release goes through multiple security gates, including rigorous static and dynamic application security testing, software composition analysis, container scanning, and continuous penetration testing. This continuous, multilayered approach ensures we proactively address vulnerabilities and maintain an enterprise-grade defense for your data. BigID offers powerful auditing capabilities, tracking every user interaction and data access. By offering insights into who accessed what, when, and from where, BigID provides the granular audit capabilities that modern enterprises demand. Stay confidently compliant and maintain complete oversight of your data ecosystem with BigID audit functionality. Leverage BigID's enterprise-grade API to integrate your automation workflows with confidence. Experience seamless orchestration and automation while maintaining complete control over access, permissions, and data flow across your entire ecosystem. Seamlessly connect your IT ecosystem with BigID. Action Center enables you to integrate with your SIEM or SOAR and even open tickets to the proper teams via JIRA, ServiceNow, and more. Enhance your data security strategy by leveraging BigID's native integration capabilities with industry-leading tools including Google DLP and Microsoft Purview, ensuring comprehensive data protection across your entire infrastructure. Transform your security operations with automated workflows and real-time data synchronization across your preferred security tools, making data protection both efficient and effective. BigID sits behind a global CDN and WAF, ensuring our cloud network is never directly exposed to the public internet. We monitor our environment using a cloud IDS audit trails and deploy an EDR solution tailored for containerized workloads. On top of this, BigID runs on hardened read-only compute instances. All of this is backed by 24-7 continuous monitoring and strict just-in-time access for support operations, ensuring that BigID delivers enterprise-grade security that never sleeps. From fine-grained access control to cloud security, FIPS compliance, rotating encryption keys, and more, BigID is built on a foundation of defense and depth. We don't just manage your data, we fortify it, ensuring your most sensitive assets are protected by design. Thanks for watching.
