Fundamental Challenge to Data Security

When it comes to an organization preventing the loss of

data, the common phrase, “you can’t protect what you
can’t see,” speaks to the very foundation of data security.

Organizations that lack an effective method for

identifying or “seeing” all the types of data that they
have are ultimately unable to prevent the loss of that
data. However, typical classification methods are highly
manual, largely depending solely on individuals to make
important decisions on the value of data. Inaccurate data
classification generates large volumes of false positives
and false negatives in data loss prevention (DLP)
policy enforcement. This results in wasted time and
resources. It also impacts an organization’s ability to keep
sensitive data from being exfiltrated and leaves them
open to security threats from both outside (malware,
ransomware) and within the organization (malicious
insiders, misuse, error, mistaken classification).

Forcepoint is delivering a new type of classification

technique that leverages the power of artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in order To start, thousands of newly created files and emails
