Global cybersecurity leader Forcepoint launched AI Data Security, the first cloud platform integrating oversight with protection that follows sensitive data across every autonomous agent, shadow AI and sanctioned AI application. Forcepoint sets a new standard for AI Data Security by stopping risk and giving agentic enterprises the confidence to put their most sensitive data to work in AI without slowing the business.

Employees and autonomous agents now feed sensitive data into models, applications and copilots. Securing that information and securing the AI that uses it were once separate efforts. However, the agentic reality is that they are now the same problem. Once sensitive data flows into AI, protecting it requires governing the AI that uses it, yet these efforts are hampered by legacy systems and inconsistent classification. Underscoring these challenges, 79 percent of organizations report struggling to secure the information behind AI initiatives.

Forcepoint is defining the AI Data Security category by unifying both into a single platform. Because AI does not discriminate by location or channel, neither does Forcepoint, securing sensitive data — structured and unstructured, on-premises and in the cloud — across every channel AI can reach. Rather than stop at visibility, the Forcepoint AI Data Security Platform delivers protection from the data layer up. It knows where sensitive data lives and where AI risk emerges, binding intelligent policy to the information itself and enforcing it through every prompt, agent and integration across channels. At the same time, protection uniquely adapts automatically as risk changes.

The Forcepoint architecture that already protects data across web, email, endpoint and network now governs it inside AI, delivered from the cloud or on-premises. Enterprises and governments can bring their most sensitive data into AI, see every agent in use and understand what each one touches, without making tradeoffs between innovation and safety. They adopt AI with confidence, not fear, certain of their data's location, sensitivity and interactions with AI, and can prove to regulators, boards and customers that critical information and agents can be trusted together.

Thousands of organizations rely on Forcepoint to secure AI today, across financial services, healthcare, government and manufacturing. They can extend protection into AI on the platform they already run, reducing data security policy management by up to 90 percent, with a 31 percent drop in operating costs.
