Symmetry Systems provides a Data+AI security platform that addresses a fundamental challenge in modern enterprise security: gaining visibility and control over sensitive data as it moves across hybrid cloud and on-premise environments. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Mohit Tiwari and Casen Hunger as a spinout from the Spark Lab at the University of Texas at Austin, the company serves Fortune 500 financial institutions, federal agencies, and major enterprise organisations.
DataGuard, the company's core platform, discovers and classifies sensitive data across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premise environments while detecting threats and enforcing governance policies. The platform extends beyond traditional data security to address AI governance - helping organisations understand how data is being used by AI systems and manage associated risks. By providing comprehensive visibility into both structured and unstructured data, DataGuard enables security teams and CISOs to answer critical questions about what sensitive data exists, where it resides, who can access it, and how it is being used.
The platform directly counters the limitations of legacy security tools that fail to provide the visibility and control organisations need as data proliferates across distributed cloud environments. Security teams rely on Symmetry to protect their most critical data assets whilst enabling innovation without compromising compliance or security posture.
