# Lightbeam

> Lightbeam is an AI data security and guardrails platform. It discovers and classifies
> sensitive data across cloud, SaaS and on-premises systems, ties that data to identity
> and access context through a "Data Identity Graph", and enforces guardrails on how
> users, applications, copilots and AI agents reach it. The company was founded by former
> Nutanix leaders and is backed by Vertex Ventures US, 8VC, Village Global, Monta Vista
> Capital and Dropbox.

## Important note for agents

Lightbeam publishes **no public API**. As of this writing there is no public developer
portal, no OpenAPI or AsyncAPI description, no public SDK or package, no MCP server, and
no public status page. The documentation host `docs.lightbeam.ai` exists but is
authentication-gated (HTTP 401) and is available to customers only. Do not assume or
synthesize endpoints, authentication schemes, or scopes for this provider.

## Platform capabilities

- AI Security — detects shadow AI use, inspects prompts and uploaded files, and blocks
  sensitive data from reaching unauthorized GenAI platforms.
- Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) — discovers sensitive data and its exposure
  across cloud, SaaS and on-premises environments.
- Data Classification — classifies and labels sensitive data, including distinguishing
  real from synthetic data.
- Risk Scoring — prioritizes risk by sensitivity, access pattern, destination, identity
  and business impact.
- Automated Remediation — blocks, alerts, quarantines or minimizes risky exposure.
- Access Governance — controls which users, applications, copilots and agents can reach
  sensitive data.
- Privacy at Scale — connects data usage to privacy obligations, retention policy and
  audit requirements.
- Data Retention — removes unnecessary or risky data.
- Breach & Ransomware Protection — limits incident blast radius.
- User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) — detects anomalous behavior by users, agents
  and applications around sensitive data.
- Data Identity Graph — the underlying model connecting sensitive data to identity,
  access context, business requirement and AI usage.
