Business overview
Laminar developed a cloud-native data protection platform designed for organizations handling sensitive data within public cloud environments. Its core technology provides complete data observability across the entire cloud stack, enabling continuous discovery and classification, risk posture improvement through security and control, and real-time detection and remediation of data leaks. The platform utilizes agentless asynchronous monitoring of datastores, compute, and data-egress channels to ensure sanctioned data movements and alert on anomalies, serving the Cyber Security sector and targeting enterprises and IT departments.
Strategic signal
In October 2024, Rubrik launched a new product, Rubrik Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for Microsoft 365 Copilot, which was largely developed at its R&D center in Israel, established after the acquisition of Laminar. This indicates that Laminar's technology and team have been successfully integrated into Rubrik, contributing to new product development and expanding Rubrik's cloud security offerings, validating the strategic value of the acquisition.
