Shadow AI — the unsanctioned use of GenAI tools — is now widespread. Staff paste confidential content into chatbots to move faster, usually unaware of the data-retention risk.

Blanket bans do not stop AI use; they push it onto personal devices and accounts where you have no visibility at all. The data risk gets worse, not better.
Guardrails, not gates
Classification-driven DLP detects sensitive text heading into AI tools and applies allow, warn or block in real time, so employees keep the productivity while the crown jewels stay in-house.
Classify what feeds AI
As data flows into analytics and AI, a mislabelled file spreads its risk fast. Strong classification is the foundation of safe AI adoption.
