Atakama and BigID Announce Strategic Alliance for Discovering and Protecting Sensitive Data
NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Atakama, the leading encryption company, has partnered with BigID, the leading data intelligence platform, to provide organizations with an integrated, automated approach to discovering and protecting sensitive and critical data.
The integration of Atakama's file encryption solution with BigID's data discovery and classification ensures that organizations can automate well-defined policies to discover, classify, and protect their data. Together, BigID and Atakama make it easy for customers to accelerate governance, reduce risk, protect their sensitive data with advanced encryption, and achieve continuous data compliance.

The integration of BigID and Atakama provides a powerful and scalable approach to sensitive data discovery and protection across the entire enterprise.
"BigID together with Atakama provides our customers with a seamless, but multi-faceted approach to data security," said Marc DeGaetano, CRO at BigID.
