DataBee is recognized as a Sample Vendor in the Continuous Controls Monitoring category.
From point-in-time scans to always-on assurance.
Expanded attack surfaces and cloud adoption are making traditional, manual control assurance increasingly error-prone and incomplete. The Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Cyber-Risk Management, 2026 identifies Continuous Controls Monitoring as a key emerging capability to address this gap. CCM tools automate monitoring of cybersecurity controls' effectiveness and relevant information gathering in near real time — helping security teams reduce manual effort, detect threats faster, and lower costs.
