Thales has introduced Data Risk Intelligence, a pioneering enhancement to its Imperva Data Security Fabric, marking a key milestone in its post-acquisition integration strategy. The new solution delivers unified visibility into data risk across hybrid, cloud and on-premises systems, and couples advanced detection with proactive response actions.

With Data Risk Intelligence, security teams gain a unified dashboard that identifies sensitive data exposure, misconfigurations and anomalies. The system scores assets by risk and provides prioritized, actionable guidance—helping CISOs and data custodians remediate vulnerabilities faster and more confidently. This represents the first integration of Imperva’s threat detection capabilities with Thales’s CipherTrust encryption and data protection suite, combining both platforms to close security gaps left by standalone systems.

Thales’s Data Threat Report found that over 98% of enterprises in India saw an increase in cyber threats year-over-year, underscoring the urgency of a proactive and unified approach. By correlating behavioral indicators with encryption coverage and baseline configurations, the platform draws a comprehensive risk landscape—enabling teams to prioritize remediation where it matters most.

Industry commentary highlights the significance of this integration. A leading analyst from IDC remarked that consolidating posture and behavior data provides teams with the needed context to tackle vulnerabilities effectively. The platform’s predictive approach represents a move away from reactive patching to strategic risk management.

The release of Data Risk Intelligence follows Thales’s acquisition of Imperva in December 2023, which created a global cybersecurity player covering applications, data, and identity protection. The company has since launched harmonized partner programs and extended its combined portfolio through joint initiatives.

As organizations continue to operate across complex hybrid environments, the ability to detect, prioritize, and act on data risk in real time becomes vital. With this launch, Thales delivers a single-pane solution that anticipates threats and enforces corrective actions—positioning itself as a leader in proactive data-centric cybersecurity.

Overall, Data Risk Intelligence marks a major step forward in empowering enterprises to bridge the gap between encryption and threat detection, ensuring data remains secure no matter where it resides.
