This explosive growth, combined with diverse data types and locations, has overwhelmed traditional classification methods, creating significant security and compliance risks.
The volume of data created globally is on an exponential curve. This chart illustrates the projected increase, highlighting the urgent need for scalable data management and security solutions.
Traditional data classification methods were designed for a simpler era. Today, they are slow, error-prone, and cannot scale to meet the demands of the modern enterprise. This comparison shows how they stack up against a modern AI approach.
AI transforms data classification from a manual chore into an intelligent, automated process. This systematic, six-step approach provides a robust framework for understanding and protecting your data at scale.
Align with stakeholders on the 'why,' 'what,' and 'how' of data classification.
Establish clear categories for data (e.g., PII, HIPAA, GDPR).
Extract, clean, and process data for the AI models.
Provide AI with tags and definitions to enable categorization.
Train, validate, and deploy models on real-world data.
Continuously supervise and refine models as data evolves.
AI models use different learning techniques to analyze and classify data. Understanding these methods reveals the power and flexibility of AI in handling diverse datasets.
Models learn from pre-labeled data to make predictions on new, unlabeled data.
Models identify hidden patterns and structures in unlabeled data without prior guidance.
Models learn by interacting with an environment, receiving rewards for correct decisions.
AI doesn't just match patterns; it comprehends the context and intent behind data, reducing false positives and identifying subtle risks.
From videos and images to audio files and free text, AI can accurately analyze and categorize complex unstructured data at a massive scale.
By providing accurate, real-time classification, AI gives security and compliance teams the foundation for effective data protection and remediation.
