Overcoming complexity and the limitations of legacy tools unable to keep pace at the speed of AI, SkopeAI democratizes advanced data protection for every user
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – July 25, 2023 – Netskope, a leader in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced new solution offerings from SkopeAI, the Netskope suite of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) innovations available across the Netskope portfolio. SkopeAI capabilities use AI/ML to deliver modern data protection and cyber threat defense, overcoming the limitations of conventional security technologies and providing protection using AI-speed techniques not found in products from other SASE vendors.
The role of AI/ML innovation in improving data protection and threat defense is urgent and pervasive. According to IDC projections, nearly 80% of an estimated 175 zettabytes of data by 2025[1] will be unstructured, meaning the data will be in such forms as screenshot images, generative AI application prompts, messages in collaboration apps, and numerous others that legacy protection tools can’t adequately identify or analyze, let alone protect.
At the same time, the continued enactment of privacy compliance regulations makes the safeguarding of sensitive data non-negotiable for every business, even as enterprises worldwide also confront critical questions of effectively using AI while safeguarding against its dangers. According to data from Netskope Threat Labs’ latest Cloud & Threat Report, generative AI app use in the enterprise is rapidly increasing—up 22.5% over the past few months—with organizations of 10,000 users or more accessing at least five generative AI apps daily. Among those users, source code is being posted to the most popular generative AI app, ChatGPT, at a concerning rate of 158 incidents per month[2].
Enter SkopeAI. SkopeAI innovations in the Netskope unified SASE platform use AI/ML to leapfrog traditional security, protect enterprises from AI-generated threats and data loss from the misuse of ChatGPT and other popular generative AI tools, and bring data protection and threat defense techniques into the modern era with unprecedented speed and simplicity. Unique SkopeAI capabilities include:
- Deep contextual awareness enabling advanced DLP to identify, analyze, and protect structured and unstructured data
- Automated ML data classification and Train Your Own Classifiers (TYOC) technology, which automatically identifies and categorizes new data based on a “train-and-forget” approach, ensuring
