Most DSPM solutions just see the threats to your data but stop there. At Thales, we believe halfway is no way to complete data security. Go beyond just visibility and control and get complete data security across any environment with CipherTrust DSPM from Thales.
Thales has led the way in advancing DSPM, closing the gap between detecting risk and actually remediating it. That leadership was recognized in 2025, when Omdia, KuppingerCole, and Frost & Sullivan named Thales a Leader — cementing its position as the industry-defining DSPM provider trusted by thousands of organizations.

“The best thing about CipherTrust is that it provides end to end data protection from discovering sensitive data to encrypting and controlling access all through a single centralized platform.”
“I like Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform’s centralized approach to data protection, especially its strong encryption, key management, and access controls. It provides comprehensive visibility and security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.”
“This platform brings all my separate data security tools together in one place. With centralized key management, fine-grained access controls, and continuous monitoring across multi-cloud setups, it makes it much easier to stay audit-ready.”
