Organizations face significant challenges in managing and securing their data assets across complex IT environments. The rising volume of sensitive information and the proliferation of data sources necessitate comprehensive solutions for complete visibility and control. Our new ServiceGraph Connector for BigID tackles these challenges by seamlessly integrating Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capabilities with ServiceNow’s IT operations management platform, enabling comprehensive data visibility, enhanced security posture, and streamlined IT operations.

The Data Visibility Challenge

Modern environments include many data sources, from on-premises systems to cloud-based applications. This fragmentation often leads to:

  • An incomplete data asset visibility and inventory
  • The proliferation of dark, shadow, and ROT data
  • Inconsistent and incomplete policies and controls around data
  • Increased risk of non-compliance with regulatory and industry frameworks

Traditional methods of managing and securing data often fail to address these challenges, leaving organizations vulnerable to data breaches, compliance violations, and operational inefficiencies. Relying on outdated practices can hinder visibility into data assets and make it challenging to implement proactive security measures, increasing the risk of regulatory non-compliance and data loss.

Understanding ServiceNow Service Graph Connectors

Service Graph Connectors automate data integration between third-party tools and ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB). These pre-built integrations standardize how data flows into ServiceNow, ensuring consistency and accuracy across security tools, cloud platforms, and other enterprise systems. By maintaining data quality and proper mapping, Service Graph Connectors enable organizations to create a reliable, unified view of their IT environment within ServiceNow.
