Cyberhaven vs Proofpoint DSPM

Check differences in scope, deployment and cost. Use the evaluation questions to resolve what the sources leave open.

Read each action with its limits. General capability and environment marks do not establish a specific workflow. Unconfirmed means support was not established in our research.

Capabilities, coverage, deployment, pricing and evaluation questions for Cyberhaven and Proofpoint DSPM
CompareCyberhavenUpdated Proofpoint DSPMUpdated
ApproachCyberhaven combines endpoint and cloud discovery with data lineage and DLP. Its DSPM adds origin and movement context to classification and flags excessive repository permissions. [1]Proofpoint DSPM discovers sensitive data and supports data-access analysis. Its Snowflake documentation describes different scan deployments, so require the architecture for the version being quoted. [1] [2]

Detection & responseUnconfirmedUnconfirmed
Encryption & tokenizationUnconfirmedUnconfirmed
Microsoft 365◐ Partial

Cloud APIs connect to Office 365 for visibility into content created and shared in the cloud. Confirm workload-level at-rest scans separately. [2]

◐ Partial

The account documentation includes OneDrive and SharePoint scan accounts. Confirm Exchange, Teams and permission-remediation scope. [3]

AWS? Unconfirmed◐ Partial

Snapshot-based scanning is documented for Amazon RDS. Confirm the supported engines and infrastructure costs. [4]

Google Cloud? Unconfirmed◐ Partial

Snapshot-based scanning is documented for Google Cloud SQL. Other GCP data services need confirmation. [4]

Snowflake / Databricks? Unconfirmed◐ Partial

Snowflake classification, access analysis and native tags are documented. Databricks coverage is not established by these sources. [1]

On-prem shares? Unconfirmed? Unconfirmed
SaaS apps◐ Partial

Cloud APIs connect to Google Workspace. Endpoint and cloud lineage provide different views of data movement. [2]

◐ Partial

Google Drive is a documented scan-account type. [3]

Deployment and data handling

Cyberhaven combines cloud API connectors with an endpoint agent to follow data movement. [2]

Cloud visibility
APIs observe content created and shared in sanctioned applications, including access through unmanaged devices.
Endpoint visibility
The endpoint component follows data movement on managed devices. Confirm supported operating systems and browser requirements.

The product page describes a Snowflake-native app. The onboarding guide also documents a scanner in a customer-owned AWS sidecar account. [1] [2]

Deployment check
Have Proofpoint identify which workflow and permissions apply to your quote.
Pricing

Pricing was not established in the reviewed sources.

Pricing was not established in the reviewed sources.

Test in the evaluation
  1. Separate stored-content scanning from observing a user download or upload in each required application.
  2. Which device agent, browser extension and API connections does the proposed deployment need?
  3. Test copy-pasted and transformed data, including offline devices and unsupported browsers.
  1. Is the proposed Snowflake scanner a native app or a sidecar in your AWS account?
  2. Which findings can trigger a native access change rather than a notification or ticket?
  3. List scan, snapshot and warehouse compute charges outside the subscription.
