Data Security Platforms 2026: From Visibility to Enforcement
- Understand why data security is shifting from collections of point tools to platforms with a single policy model
- Learn why posture visibility without enforcement leaves the hardest part of the work with the customer
- See how leading platforms govern access by service accounts, pipelines, and AI agents at the data layer
- Find out how ready the market is for crypto-agility, post-quantum migration, and data sovereignty requirements
- Get a first look at the 2026 Leadership Compass results and the evaluation methodology behind them
Sensitive data no longer stays where it was created. It is copied into lakehouses, SaaS applications, test environments, and AI pipelines, and accessed as often by services and agents as by people. Most organizations have responded the traditional way, by buying another tool: discovery, encryption, masking, monitoring, posture management, each with its own policy model and its own idea of where its job ends.
Data Security Platforms promise to replace this patchwork with policy enforced wherever data is accessed. The market is full of products that can tell you exactly how exposed your data is, and rather fewer that can do something about it. This webinar presents the results of the 2026 Leadership Compass on Data Security Platforms and helps tell the two apart.
Alexei Balaganski, Lead Analyst and CTO at KuppingerCole Analysts, will present the key findings of the 2026 Leadership Compass on Data Security Platforms. He will explain how the products were evaluated, from discovery and posture management to crypto-agility and data security for AI systems. He will show where the market has matured since the previous edition, where vendor claims still run ahead of the evidence, and which vendors lead in product capabilities, innovation, and market presence. Finally, he will offer practical guidance for buyers on selecting the platforms that actually enforce policy instead of only reporting on exposure.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for CISOs and security leaders, data security, platform, and enterprise architects, privacy, risk, and compliance officers, IT decision-makers evaluating or consolidating data security tools, and product and strategy teams at security vendors.
