At the RSA Conference 2025, LightBeam.ai, the identity-centric data security platform, today announced the release of dynamic risk scoring capabilities that helps organizations visualize the concentration and severity of risk across cloud, Saas, and on-premises data repositories, a major enhancement to its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) offering.

According to Gartner, “Data is proliferating across multicloud architectures, but the data security products available today do not protect data consistently, do not integrate with each other, and do not enable consistent data security posture. DSPM technology has a unique ability to identify and map sensitive data locations across cloud repositories, discover unknown data repositories, and map who has access to that data. It assesses the content of structured and unstructured data stores, gaining visibility into data, while monitoring for possible indicators of compromise, common vulnerabilities and exposures, and misconfigurations that create access risks that could lead to data breaches or privacy incidents.”*
As data proliferates across cloud and SaaS systems, organizations face growing challenges in assessing risk consistently. The LightBeam Risk Scoring framework provides a unified, AI-driven metric that evaluates the real-world security posture of sensitive data across structured and unstructured sources. By analyzing content, identity, and access patterns, it delivers contextual risk and density scores—helping security teams prioritize remediation efforts and measure progress over time.
“Risk scoring is one of the most powerful tools we can offer our customers,” said Priyadarshi Prasad, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at LightBeam. “By giving security, privacy, and compliance teams a way to measure and monitor data risk across their entire environment, we’re helping them reduce exposure, improve operational efficiency, and make smarter decisions about where to invest their resources.”

The new Risk Scoring engine integrates tightly with the patented LightBeam Data Identity Graph, mapping sensitive data to human identities and business context. Customers can now sort and filter by highest-risk files, automate access revocation when thresholds are exceeded, and visualize their security posture over time. These insights accelerate incident response, streamline audits, and support strategic risk reduction initiatives.
