This is a skewed question. You have to go back an look at how this occurred ? And how it came about, cause. Remember they (Mandiant, a FireEye company) discovered the breach. However, I am very concerned about malicious actors.

Every company can be breached. It’s trite, but it is not a matter of if, but when.

With that, FireEye was an extremely big target. They had information about much of the Fortune 500 and Federal government. They also had a large cache of powerful security tools. This made them one of the largest targets in the world.

They were ostensibly the victim of a nation-state attack. These nation-state attacks require people and money, and they are limited who they can attack. So it is not like every company is going to be a target of nation-state attacks. But if you are on their radar, ensure your guard is up.

We are considering a scanning solution for detecting Personal Information (PI) in our data assets, mainly AWS S3, DynamoDB, Salesforce, etc. We need the solution to detect PI, identify the type (e.g., infotype), and optionally map it to our own PI categories. We are currently considering BigID. Do you have experience with this tool or any other tools that can help us scan across different data platforms and technologies?
