We ProtectWhat Matters

Matters™ is your AI security engineer for data.
Protects data wherever it travels and lives.

Matters overview
How Matters can help
reputation matters

It only takes one breach to lose what took years to build.

The explosion of data across hybrid clouds, endpoints, microservices, and AI pipelines has changed everything.


Legacy security vendors are still duct-taping features onto broken platforms, selling outdated tech for modern data threats.

Matters: Your AI Security EngineerProtecting what truly matters, wherever your data lives or travels. It functions like an AI security engineer: it understands context, monitors behavior, and protects sensitive data autonomously across cloud, SaaS, and endpoints.
Innovation
Our Core Innovation:Building an AI Data Security EngineerMatters acts as an AI security engineer, built on a foundation of semantic intelligence, nearest neighbor search, data lineage modeling, and predictive behavior analysis. It doesn’t just detect threats. It understands context, anticipates risk, and takes action proactively across cloud, SaaS, and endpoint environments.
<strong>Building an AI Data Security Engineer</strong>

How Matters Thinks Like a Security EngineerLegacy data security tools don’t think. They match patterns, raise noisy alerts, and remain blind to real business context. They rely on static rules, regexes, and dashboards you’ve already stopped looking at.

Matters is different.
We built it to act like an AI security engineer who reads between the lines, traces risk in motion, and never sleeps.

Here’s what powers it:
How Matters <strong>Thinks</strong> Like a Security Engineer
Icon
Understands What Data MeansWe combine semantic intelligence, contextual awareness, and entity modeling to identify sensitive data not just by how it looks, but by what it represents. Matters can detect a patient ID embedded inside a log file or an investment term in an email thread.

Legacy DSPM tools stop at keywords. Matters understands context.
<strong>Understands</strong> What Data Means
Icon
Tracks Where Data Lives and MovesUsing fingerprinting and eBPF, we follow your data across cloud, SaaS, endpoints, and beyond. We know where it came from, where it’s going, and how it’s being transformed.

Like GPS for sensitive data. Something legacy tools can’t fake with static scans.
<strong>Tracks</strong> Where Data Lives and Moves
Icon
Responds to Who’s Interacting with it and WhyKnowing where data is and what it means isn’t enough. You need to know who’s interacting with it, how, and why.

Matters fuses behavioral intelligence with enterprise knowledge graphs to connect the dots across identities, roles, and intent. It knows when a model is overreaching, when a user is going off-script, or when an insider is staging an exfiltration.

Other tools flood you with logs. Matters gives you stories with answers.
<strong>Responds</strong> to Who’s Interacting with it and Why
No agents.

ADDR
Advanced Data Detection & Response
Matters doesn't wait for DLP rules to fail. It detects and responds to suspicious data movement using real-time behavioral analysis and content awareness.Why it matters:Speed is everything. Instead of 277-day breach cycles and endless alert triage, Matters reduces response time to minutes with context-rich, actionable alerts.

DSPM
Data Security Posture Management
Matters builds a unified inventory of sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and endpoints, enriched with lineage, risk scoring, and regulatory mapping (DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2).Why it matters:Most teams don't know what data they have, where it lives, or how exposed it is. Matters gives you a complete, continuously updated map so you can prioritize what truly matters.
