As with CASB adoption, DLP and encryption technology deployment is on the rise, and increasingly,
these three data security types are becoming more integrated solutions.

Content Discovery

If you’ve successfully stopped shadow IT and ensured that users are only accessing and interacting with
files in a safe and secure manner, you’ve only won half the battle. Understanding the nature of content
and where sensitive data is stored, and then assessing how to monitor it as a file changes over time, are
critical next steps. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can make a
significant difference.

AI and ML based technologies provide advanced tactics necessary for identifying and securing data.
Applying appropriate classification and being dynamic enough to adapt protection and policies as files
move through their collaboration lifecycle—without compromising user productivity—is essential.

Protect Data from The Inside And Out

These are a handful of internal considerations to successful data security, which must co-exist within a
larger strategy that includes external tactics, such as perimeter defenses. Leveraging AI and ML powered
solutions allow IT to move beyond basic collaboration to embrace and gain the benefits of a truly secure
and intelligent workplace.
