Fantastic for Hybrid Data Discovery, Classification, and Automated Remediation
What do you like best about the product?
The platform's ability to handle massive, complex hybrid environments (Google Workspace, GCP BigQuery, AWS legacy file shares) is fantastic. We are using it for a global data discovery and classification rollout, and the automated remediation workflows—specifically the ability to tie discoveries directly into our ITSM (ServiceNow) for automated ticketing—save us countless manual SOC hours.
Beyond the platform itself, their support and engineering teams are top-tier. They don't just act as standard vendor support; they act as an extension of our architecture team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The frontend UI can sometimes be a bottleneck when you are trying to deploy at a massive enterprise scale. For example, onboarding hundreds of GCP BigQuery datasets natively required a lot of 1:1 manual configuration in the console. While we were able to easily bypass this by utilizing their API to bulk-create the connectors, it would be great to see more of those bulk-action and scaling capabilities built directly into the native UI to save time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securiti solves the massive challenge of data sprawl across our complex, multi-cloud environment. Before, finding sensitive data was a highly manual process. Now, we've shifted to automated Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). It gives us a single pane of glass to continuously discover, classify, and automatically remediate sensitive data at an enterprise scale, drastically reducing our team's administrative burden.

Have built a zero trust foundation that protects customer data and reduces business risk
What is our primary use case?
The main use case for Securiti in my organization is to safeguard the physical assets as well as the digital assets. The prime motive behind deploying the SOC or the security, cyber security solutions, or for that matter, the information security solutions within the bank is to safeguard the physical assets as well as the digital assets. Coming back to the digital assets, the focus is primarily on safeguarding the customer data, which is paramount to the day-to-day operations within the banking sector.
A specific example of how I use Securiti to safeguard customer data involves our crown jewel applications or the applications which are customer facing such as core banking, INB, internet banking, mobile banking, loan lifecycle management system, or tab banking. For all these customer facing applications, we have implemented ZTNA 1.0 and ZTNA 2.0 implementation is in progress. That means the zero trust network architecture is implemented for all the mission critical customer facing applications, wherein we have adequate safeguards in place for protecting people, processes, and related technologies.
What is most valuable?
The best features Securiti offers in my experience primarily safeguard the digital assets. I would say the prime purpose of security is to safeguard the digital assets. That means the data, underlying platform, and be it the storage, compute, network, data, and applications. These major five pillars are what security solutions aim to protect. Security is in today's context, whether it is IS security or a subset of it, cyber security, it is very much required to reduce the business risk, business continuity risk which may arise because of the disruptions of compromised IT apps.
Of those features, I find the zero trust network, zero trust architecture, ZTA, most valuable and unique in Securiti. If you look at the zero trust architecture, it's the three main principles under this, which include principle of least privileges and microsegmentation of the network and role-based access control, fine-grained access control. With these three tenets of zero trust architecture, we are quite confident that the mission critical customer facing applications which are hosted in their respective production region, remain up, alive, and uncompromised.
What needs improvement?
To improve Securiti, I would say that ultimately the IT team as well as the business team, there has to be an amalgamation of their thought process, convergence of their thoughts, objectives, aspirations for achieving the business objective of a particular organization. The way forward is to form the fusion team wherein there is a judicious mix of business and IT and both the teams understand each other's limitations and the aspirations and the common objectives.
As far as needed improvements in Securiti, I would say that automation is key. If you look at the kind of huge amount of data which SOC integrated devices are generating in terms of alerts, automation or the appropriate use of AI is the way forward. That will lead to the overall improvement in the efficiency as well as the threat intelligence will be much more accurate. To my mind, automation with the augmented use of GenAI or the agentic AI solution is the way forward.
I choose eight for Securiti because for it to be a nine or 10, ultimately the uptime has to be improved, it should be nearing 100%. Apart from that, there has to be more unified communication happening between various customer facing applications. These siloed applications having their own kind of security solutions implemented also have to be brought on a uniform platform. Until that happens, there is always a gap which has to be filled. The processes within the SOC, whether it is SIEM, NBAD, or your DAM, alert analysis, logs analysis, these have to be predictive analysis, and the thwarting of the cyber attacks still requires more effort.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Securiti since 2012, where I was responsible from the department's perspective for setting up the security operation center within the bank, security SOC 1.0. Thereafter, I was also SPOC from the department side for SOC 2.0. While performing my role as SPOC for the SOC, SPOC for the internal audit for the SOC initiative within the SBI, I was responsible for the asset integration into SOC. Thereafter the configuration of SIEM agent, DAM agents, NBAD, and cyber security incident closure. Those were the initial SOC 1.0 days wherein I have handled these challenges. Additionally, VA closure is one of my areas of expertise and passions.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Securiti has positively impacted my organization in a way that addresses the prime concern of the board of the bank or the business that the evolving cyber security, ever-evolving cyber security threat should not lead to the disruption in the applications, key customer facing applications availability. The top executive or the C-level executives want to understand the impact of implementing the various cyber security solutions in terms of the reduction, tangible reduction in the business risk. There we have proved that the return on investment is quite acceptable to the board's aspiration.
A specific metric that demonstrates this ROI with Securiti involves our customer facing applications. If you look at core banking, INB, or ATM, treasury, or mobile banking, the uptime is upwards of 99%. With that kind of high availability and the continuous threat exposure management, CTEM, we are quite sure and we have proved our worth to the business in implementing the cyber security solutions. Apart from the uptime, the kind of rating which our application gets from independent agencies such as scorecard also proved the efficacy of the IT security solutions implemented within the bank.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Securiti's scalability is impressive; it is capable of handling a large workload for a bank having 25,000 plus branches and a customer base of around 400 million customers. It can be scaled with the required hardware, either horizontally or vertically, without much disruption.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for Securiti is quite reasonable, and if I have to rate them, I would say nine out of 10. They are prompt and they take care of most of the use cases or they provide prompt solutions.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have been using Splunk for SIEM, and Imperva which is now acquired by Thales for DAM, as well as Qubro solutions for network security from inception. We have relied upon these solutions for almost a decade and do not foresee a need for an immediate shift as long as the assets are well protected and the uptime is maintained.
How was the initial setup?
Before choosing Securiti, we evaluated other options, but now we are using Securiti for data privacy. It is one of the important components of the SOC, apart from other components I have mentioned, whether it is SIEM or DAM. Securiti solutions are now largely responsible for safeguarding the data privacy within the bank.
In my experience, Securiti is quite robust, reliable, and scalable as far as data privacy is concerned, and it caters to most of the use cases across different business verticals.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with Securiti. With more automation in the SOC and the implementation of the next generation SOC, the headcount required for around-the-clock monitoring of ever increasing IT assets has gone down drastically. There is also a tangible benefit in terms of the money with the reduced year-on-year application downtime, even though the cyber security threats are ever evolving.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for security solutions, we usually enter into an enterprise license agreement for a bank of our size. Whether it is Splunk or whether it is RSA Archer or it is Qubro solutions or any other IT security solution provider, we find them to be flexible. With the kinds of hundreds of thousands of IT assets we have for integration, we usually find the IT security solutions providers' pricing as well as their licensing structure to be quite flexible. They also offer price protection.
What other advice do I have?
More and more automation, whether reduction of the exposure or automated remediation of the vulnerabilities, and the prompt reporting in the GRC tool, those are the key initiatives we have taken for last few years in safeguarding the bank's digital assets.
My advice for others looking into using Securiti is to first compile your use cases for a particular sector where you are operating. Thereafter, perform the POC of those use cases followed by pilot implementation before a full-blown rollout. It makes sense to examine or assess the efficacy of security solutions prior to a full-blown rollout.
I rate Securiti eight out of ten.
