Case Study: ACV Auctions improves cloud data security and reduces costs with Cyera

How ACV Auctions uses Cyera to Control Sensitive Cloud Data Exposure

ACV Auctions, a New York-based business services company running its digital marketplace for wholesale vehicle transactions on AWS, needed better visibility into a sprawling and fast-changing cloud data environment. As the company scaled and added new customers, apps, and distributed ownership, its security team needed a way to track sensitive data, understand where it lived, and ensure appropriate controls were in place. ACV turned to Cyera’s data security platform to help address these challenges.

Cyera gave ACV full visibility into its cloud data landscape, helping the team identify sensitive exposures such as unencrypted PII and publicly accessible information, while also improving incident response and vulnerability management through data context. The platform also uncovered significant “ghost data” and other redundant storage, helping ACV estimate more than $50,000 per year in potential cloud storage savings. With Cyera, ACV improved its security posture, strengthened governance, and reduced unnecessary cloud costs.
