Mage Data Named a Notable Vendor in The Data Security Platforms Landscape, Q3 2026

Inclusion follows Mage Data’s August launch of Data Security and Privacy for AI, extending discovery and masking across model training, GenAI, and AI agents.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mage Data, a provider of data security and privacy software for global enterprises, today announced its inclusion in The Data Security Platforms Landscape, Q3 2026, Forrester Research, Inc., August 19, 2026. Forrester Landscape reports give security and risk leaders an overview of the technology market and the vendors operating within it.

Mage Data secures sensitive information across complex, heterogeneous enterprise environments, enabling large enterprises to meet regulatory obligations under GDPR, CPRA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, along with a growing set of regional privacy regulations — without slowing the business down.

“Most of the industry starts with monitoring and calls that data security,” said Rajesh Parthasarathy, Founder and CEO of Mage Data. “But a dashboard full of alerts doesn’t reduce risk on its own - it tells you what already happened. We start further back: sensitive data shouldn’t be sitting in a test environment at all, so mask it; where production needs the real values, control who and what can see them; and monitor what’s left. Doing it in that order means there is far less to watch, and far less that can go wrong.”

Mage Data’s listing reflects information the company submitted for the report: coverage across North America, EMEA, and Latin America; industry focus spanning financial services and insurance, healthcare, and retail; hosted private SaaS and on-premises deployment; and an extended use case focus on AI training, data provisioning and access, and database security.

Mage Data helps enterprises operationalize data security and privacy across AI-driven data discovery and classification, static and dynamic data masking, test data management, database virtualization, database activity monitoring, and regulatory compliance automation. The platform is deployed on-premises and in cloud environments by global enterprises, including banks, insurers, healthcare providers, and retailers.

In August 2026, Mage Data extended the platform to AI with Data Security and Privacy for AI — capabilities that govern how sensitive data enters model training, employee use of public GenAI tools, and AI agents operating in production, applying the same discovery and masking foundation the platform uses everywhere else.

“Most enterprises end up with one tool for discovery, another for masking, another for provisioning test data, and another for monitoring,” said Krishnan Cheerath, Vice President of Products at Mage Data. “Each one has its own idea of what counts as sensitive, so the policies drift and the audit evidence never quite lines up. We built the platform so that discovery, masking, test data provisioning, and monitoring all read from the same classification results and enforce the same policies - that’s what makes it practical to run across hundreds of systems.”
