Overview
Today’s data security solutions must not only embrace AI – but fully lean into it – to properly safeguard against the many cyber threats that exist today. This is why Forcepoint introduced its AI-powered Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution in April 2024 for modern enterprises that need strong visibility and control over business data. Many solutions today claim to be AI-powered, but Forcepoint DSPM truly is AI-powered by a technology called “AI Mesh” that radically improves the accuracy that organizations identify sensitive data and guard it from exfiltration.
The AI Mesh approach revolutionizes data classification through a networked AI architecture, leveraging a generative AI (GenAI) Small Language Model (SLM) and a network of advanced data and AI components for intelligent, rapid classification of a vast number of files – a necessity for a robust DSPM solution. This structure allows for efficient context capture and transformation of unstructured text into highly accurate document classifications, while enabling greater resource efficiency and cost savings. The AI Mesh is also highly customizable, capable of being tailored to specific industry sectors, regulatory environments and customer requirements, including adjustable sensitivity for detecting relevant examples and creating user-specific detectors for various filter requirements.
Bringing this unmatched accuracy alongside efficiency and transparency, the AI Mesh approach empowers Forcepoint to bring the best of AI capabilities to DSPM. This, in turn, helps enterprises reduce data breaches, secure data in GenAI applications, and ultimately comply with ever-changing global privacy regulations.
Key Capabilities / Features
AI’s ability to analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns makes it an invaluable tool for businesses that have more data than they even know exist. While the AI Mesh approach has a specific function rooted in data classification, the impacts of its features are far-reaching:
1. Reduced Risk: Ensures highly accurate document classifications leveraging SLMs, minimizing the risk of data loss while effectively identifying sensitive information and reducing data risk such as ROT and dark data.
2. Lowered Costs: Automation via the AI Mesh approach enables enterprises to decrease the time and resources spent on investigations and remediation, without compromising on data security. Plus, a stronger security posture leads to gains in not having to deal with the financial implications of a data breach or non-compliance penalties.
3. Increased Productivity: Provides efficient data classification within milliseconds, streamlining processes and reducing manual effort. Plus, low maintenance requirements eliminate the need for extensive retraining, ensuring sustained accuracy without constant intervention.
4. Streamlined Compliance: Accounts for AI and privacy regulation requirements with easily auditable and explainable AI technology. Forcepoint DSPM also excels in workflow orchestration, which plays a critical role in ensuring consistent compliance with global regulations.
AI-powered classification also gives enterprises a leg-up in reducing time and resources spent on data security investigations and remediation, leading to cost savings that enable teams to better prioritize innovation in an increasingly digital world.
In an era where data is as good as gold, protecting it from both known and unknown risks is essential to an organization’s survival. This is why Forcepoint prioritized bringing to market its DSPM solution powered by AI Mesh technology to deliver highly accurate classification for a highly secure data posture, ease privacy compliance and minimize the risks of data breaches for enterprises navigating innovation amid an increasing
How we are different
Many security solutions often struggle to comprehend the contextual significance of business data, leading to potential security gaps that can heighten the risk of data breaches, exfiltration and non-compliance. Forcepoint addresses these concerns by introducing an AI Mesh feature that powers Forcepoint DSPM to provide highly accurate classification for a highly secure data posture. Differentiators from the competition include:
• Networked AI Architecture: Leverages a highly networked architecture that includes a GenAI Small Language Model (SLM), allowing for efficient context capture and unstructured text transformation into highly accurate classifications, while enabling greater resource efficiency.
• Customizable: Capable of being tailored to specific industry sectors, regulatory environments, and customer requirements – essential for differing compliance landscapes.
• Explainable & Accurate: Features less than 100 classification signals, making its outcomes easily explainable with smaller data sets that can better facilitate audits without revealing sensitive information. The easily explainable outcomes from AI Mesh enhance both trust and compliance, ensuring highly a secure data posture and adherence to privacy regulations.
Unlike other DSPM solutions, the Forcepoint AI Mesh approach offers a multi-node, connected AI architecture that revolutionizes data classification while reducing overhead costs. The technology runs on standard computers without the need for expensive GPUs and NPUs, while still providing the best of GenAI and predictive AI capabilities. Plus, AI Mesh achieves high classification accuracy without extensive and manual training, which is maintained through simple adjustments directly to the AI Mesh (a differentiator as other solutions often do not offer direct manipulation) – ultimately reducing maintenance costs.
