A new era in data protection: how Forcepoint's AI platform is changing the rules of classification

News | 01.08.2025

In today's digital world, data volumes are growing exponentially—and so are the risks. Manual data classification, which many companies have relied on for years, has become a bottleneck in the security system. This process is not only labor-intensive and costly but also prone to human error, making it ineffective for protecting confidential information and intellectual property.

Challenges of the Traditional Approach to Data Classification

Traditional methods require employees to manually assign labels to each document. This leads to several serious issues: from low accuracy to incomplete coverage. As a result, critical data may remain unprotected, and the company becomes vulnerable to leaks and attacks. Forcepoint offers a solution that changes the game.

The Solution: AI-powered Data Classification by Forcepoint

The Forcepoint AI-powered Data Classification platform is an innovative tool that leverages the power of artificial intelligence to automate the classification process. It is a key component of the comprehensive Forcepoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution. The system analyzes not only the content of files but also the context in which they are used, ensuring unprecedented accuracy and completeness of protection. The platform provides deep visibility and control over data, wherever it resides. It is a continuous process that works without human intervention, freeing your team’s resources for more important tasks.

Switching from manual to AI-driven classification is not just an upgrade—it's a strategic necessity for ensuring cybersecurity.

How It Works: AI Mesh Technology

At the core of the platform’s high accuracy and efficiency is the innovative Forcepoint AI Mesh technology. Unlike solutions that rely on a single AI model, AI Mesh acts as an intelligent orchestrator. It coordinates the work of multiple specialized AI models and other classification techniques. This allows the system to analyze data from multiple perspectives, understand both context and content, and deliver highly accurate and relevant classification automatically.

Key Benefits of the Forcepoint AI-powered Data Classification Platform

  • High Accuracy: AI models effectively detect and classify personal data (PII), protected health information (PHI), and intellectual property (IP).
  • Full Automation: The system runs in the background, scanning and classifying data across on-premises and cloud storage without user intervention.
  • Contextual Analysis: The technology understands the context of data, enabling the application of more accurate and relevant security policies.
  • Compliance Simplified: Automated classification helps meet requirements of standards like GDPR and pass audits with minimal effort.
  • Reduced Staff Workload: Free your IT specialists from routine tasks and allow them to focus on strategic initiatives.
