Data security startup Dig Security Solutions Inc. today announced that it has added optical character recognition to its data security posture management solution to allow enterprises to detect sensitive information stored in image files.

With the release, Dig can detect that data in image files even when it’s stored in multicloud environments, such as passports and driver’s licenses. The OCR capabilities are critical as enterprises increasingly collect and store data in image files, since Dig claims that unless enterprises can map all sensitive data, the data remains open to mass exposure.

Dig argues that the acceleration of digital transformation during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a massive increase in the number of scanned documents in public cloud environments. With the wide adoption of digital IDs, more than ever sensitive data is stored in digital formats.

The new OCR capabilities enable Dig customers to identify sensitive data hidden in image files and move it to a secure environment. In one example, Dig said that in a company that validates customers via a driver’s license or passport, it found that the number of images containing personally identifiable information was as high as the total number of customers and that it found more than 80,000 images in one cloud storage bucket alone.

“Today’s enterprises need OCR capabilities – they cannot rely on discovery and classification of text files alone,” co-founder and Chief Executive Dan Benjamin said ahead of the release. “There is an overwhelming amount of sensitive data in image files and data left unprotected and unmonitored increases the risk of data exfiltration and breaches.”

Dig said its introduction of OCR is reaffirms its commitment to improving data security measures and staying ahead of the curve in addressing the evolving challenges of data storage and management.

Dig Security is a venture capital-backed company, having raised about $45 million to date, including a round of $34 million in September. Investors in the company include Felicis Ventures LLC, Okta Ventures, Team8 Solutions LLC, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (via its Falcon Fund), CyberArk Software Ltd. and Merline Ventures.
