Jit + Cyera: A Unified Approach to Protecting Your Most Sensitive Data
Published February 3, 2025.
Today, Jit and Cyera are thrilled to announce an integration that will help address one of the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity: prioritizing code and cloud vulnerabilities according to the actual risk they introduce.
Put simply, this integration will make it easy for security teams to pinpoint vulnerabilities (detected by Jit) that impact the security of your most sensitive data (monitored by Cyera). As a result, security teams:
Spend less time trying to determine which vulnerabilities need to be prioritized, and more time addressing the vulnerabilities that jeopardize sensitive data.
Rest easy knowing that every code and cloud security issue that impacts the security of their most sensitive data will be highlighted in Jit’s Product Security Platform.
Why we built the integration: simplifying the complex
From credit card details to health records, many companies are handling massive amounts of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive data that is often spread across complex ecosystems, including cloud services, SaaS platforms, and on-premises systems.
To simplify the process of understanding their data security risk posture, Cyera makes it simple for security teams to discover, classify, and contextualize huge data footprints. Once organizations get this visibility, they are a few questions that naturally arise:
Are there vulnerabilities in my code or cloud configurations that could expose this data?
How can I ensure this data is protected?
Which vulnerabilities should I prioritize to minimize risk to my sensitive data?
Answering these questions is daunting in complex, modern environments. That’s why we’re excited to announce the Jit-Cyera integration. Together, Jit and Cyera are empowering customers to proactively secure sensitive data by bridging the gap between data visibility and actionable security insights.
The Solution: Jit + Cyera, Better Together
The integration between Jit and Cyera closes the gap between sensitive data discovery and actionable security. Here’s how it works:
- Cyera’s Data Discovery, Classification, and Monitoring Cyera scans the customer’s environment to discover, classify, and monitor sensitive data across all systems and applications. This provides a complete view into the type of data being handled (e.g., PII, payment information, HIPAA-regulated data), where it resides, and its security posture.
Jit’s Context Engine Enrichment Jit pulls this information from Cyera and feeds it into the Context Engine, which correlates code and cloud security issues with runtime and business variables, like whether the issue is deployed to a production environment, is exposed to the internet, or resides in code that queries sensitive data. Through this integration, Jit will map code and cloud vulnerabilities to the sensitive data discovered and monitored by Cyera.
Risk-Based Prioritization When a vulnerability affects systems connected to sensitive data, Jit automatically increases the priority score of that issue. This ensures that the vulnerabilities posing the greatest risk to sensitive data rise to the top of the security issue backlog, so teams know where to prioritize time spent on remediation efforts.
- Developer Pull Request Context Jit integrates Cyera’s insights directly into code commit workflows. When a developer opens a pull request, Jit provides context on how the proposed changes impact data security. For instance, if the code being committed introduces a vulnerability that could expose sensitive data discovered by Cyera, Jit alerts the developer and provides actionable guidance to remediate the issue.
By combining Cyera’s deep data visibility with Jit’s proactive vulnerability management, this integration delivers powerful benefits:
Prioritize the most critical code and cloud vulnerabilities: When confronted with a long list of code and cloud security issues after turning on a scanner, it can be difficult to understand what to focus on first. This integration makes it easy to prioritize the issues that impact the security of sensitive data discovered by Cyera.
Actionable context for developers to resolve security issues before they become vulnerabilities: Empower developers with security insights in pull requests, showing them how their code impacts data security and guiding them to make secure decisions.
Together, these benefits ensure organizations can protect their most critical assets while maintaining efficient and secure development workflows.
Conclusion: Protect What Matters Most with Jit + Cyera
Sensitive data is a prime target for attackers, and securing it requires more than just visibility. Organizations need actionable insights that help them proactively address vulnerabilities before they become exploitable.
The Jit-Cyera integration delivers exactly that—combining Cyera’s data security expertise with Jit’s developer-friendly approach to vulnerability management. By mapping sensitive data to critical vulnerabilities and surfacing actionable insights to developers, this integration enables teams to secure what matters most.
