Lightbeam

Lightbeam is an AI data security and guardrails platform that discovers and classifies sensitive data across cloud, SaaS and on-premises systems, ties that data to identity and access context through its Data Identity Graph, and enforces guardrails on how users, applications, copilots and AI agents reach it. Capabilities span AI security and shadow-AI detection, data security posture management (DSPM), data classification, risk scoring, automated remediation, access governance, privacy operations, data retention, breach and ransomware blast-radius reduction, and user entity behavior analytics. Founded by former Nutanix leaders and backed by Vertex Ventures US, 8VC, Village Global, Monta Vista Capital and Dropbox. Lightbeam sells to the enterprise and publishes no public API - its documentation portal is authentication-gated.
