Data loss prevention gets a second act as AI rewrites an old security problem

Security vendors are rebuilding data loss prevention, or DLP, around contextual understanding rather than pattern matching — and AI-powered DLP is giving the category’s most stubborn unsolved problem a second act. Decades of rule-based DLP tools left security teams buried in alerts they could not act on, and the arrival of generative AI has both […] The post Data loss prevention gets a second act…

Data loss prevention gets a second act as AI rewrites an old security problem

Data loss prevention (DLP) is undergoing a transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) redefines the security problem. Traditional rule-based DLP tools that plagued security teams with alerts they couldn't act on have been replaced by AI-powered solutions that offer a contextual understanding of data flows. This shift has been driven by partnerships between platform companies, cloud providers, and startups, with Israeli startup Jazz emerging from stealth with $61 million in funding.

Jazz's AI-powered investigator, Melody, is being integrated with CrowdStrike's Falcon Foundry, accelerating the startup's growth. CrowdStrike's and Amazon Web Services' accelerator program helped identify gaps in existing DLP solutions, leading to the development of Jazz's business-first approach. As the AI era continues to evolve, security teams need to focus on minimizing response and exposure times, with AI-powered DLP being a crucial component in this ongoing shift.

Numbers Do Not Belong in the Model

A missing number gets noticed. A wrong one does not. That single asymmetry is why reading documents with a language model has to be treated differently from writing text with one.

  • Numbers in language models require special attention and treatment.
  • Multi-digit numbers often split into individual units during tokenization.
  • Recommended solution involves extracting numbers from raw document before model involvement.

RAG security: the retrieved document is now your attack surface

Cross-post. Original: stellarbytecapital.com/blog/rag-security Retrieval-augmented generation is the default way to make an LLM useful on your own data: fetch relevant documents, stuff them into the…

  • Retrieval-augmented generation introduces untrusted data into language models.
  • Malicious instructions in indexed sources can be executed with app authority.
  • Securing RAG pipeline requires access control, tainted data treatment, and output guarding.
