Agentic Cyber Defense Engineering for DLP
Sensitive data moves across email, cloud services, endpoints and collaboration apps at machine speed. Proving, prioritizing and adapting your data protection has to move just as fast. Cymulate puts your DLP (data loss prevention) controls to the test and goes beyond a pass/fail result to deliver agentic cyber defense engineering.
Powered by Vero AI, Cymulate proves DLP policy effectiveness by simulating attempts to exfiltrate sensitive data over email, web uploads, removable media and other channels, prioritizes the gaps with real-world impact and adapts your defenses with the specific policy changes needed to close them.
When Cymulate identifies an unblocked exfiltration path, a misconfigured policy or a gap in data protection coverage, you get prioritized mitigation guidance to configure and tune your data security solutions and close it. Every update is revalidated against the original exfiltration scenario, so stronger data protection is proven, not assumed.
Instead of one more list of findings, Cymulate closes the risk-to-fix gap and continuously proves, prioritizes and adapts your DLP controls against the exfiltration techniques targeting your data.

FAQs
Data loss prevention (DLP) validation is the practice of simulating real data exfiltration attempts against your DLP controls to confirm they detect, block and log unauthorized transfers. It is how security teams test whether DLP policies actually work in production, rather than assuming that policy coverage equals protection.
Cymulate tests email, browsers over HTTP and HTTPS, network protocols such as Telnet, SFTP and TCP, DNS and DNS tunneling, ICMP tunneling, cloud-hosted services and storage, removable devices and collaboration apps including Teams, Slack and GitHub, with test data embedded in office documents, images and other file types.
Yes. Cymulate DLP validation is production-safe: every test case runs against live controls without any sensitive or confidential information leaving your production environment.
DLP controls should be tested continuously, not annually. Cymulate DLP validation is fully automated and can run on a weekly schedule to catch security drift and confirm coverage as data-sharing methods change.
