Organizations face increasing complexity and risk when managing their data security posture across a growing and ephemeral data environment. The explosion of data, combined with strict regulatory requirements, has made it essential for you to not only secure your data but also to demonstrate compliance. Some of the struggles include:

These challenges highlight the critical need to strengthen your Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), with a particular focus on AI-powered solutions.

The Importance of DSPM

A strong DSPM strategy is crucial to effectively discover, classify, and secure sensitive data across the entire ecosystem. Why?:

  • Gain real-time insights into the location, movement, and security status of data.
  • Ensure continuous compliance with global data protection regulations.
  • Mitigate risks by detecting vulnerabilities before they turn into breaches.
  • Prioritize remediation efforts based on actual risk to sensitive data.

However, as your environment expands and becomes more complex, generic out-of-the-box (OOTB) solutions no longer suffice. Every organization manages distinct data types and faces unique challenges, which will require more specialized tools to meet specific needs. This is where custom classifiers, like those offered by BigID, come into play.

How BigID’s Advanced DSPM Goes Above & Beyond with AI-Powered Custom Classifiers

Most DSPM platforms limit organizations to basic custom classifiers, often through rudimentary imports of regular expression (RegEx) patterns. These solutions generally offer unattractive results due to untuned and unoptimized classifiers. BigID, however, goes far beyond these limitations by incorporating advanced methods such as NLP, Large Language Models (LLMs), Identity Graphs, and Cluster Analysis.

These advanced AI-powered classifiers offer organizations the flexibility to:

  • Incorporate existing classifiers and refine them to their unique data.
  • Leverage multiple AI techniques, including supervised learning and fuzzy logic, to enhance accuracy.
  • Safely train and tune your models to optimize performance for your specific needs.

Building Classifiers with BigID

  • Custom Pattern Classifiers: Reuse existing pattern-matching classifiers, natively edit them, and optimize them against their specific data sets. Enhance them with AI-driven technologies like supervised learning, fuzzy logic, and environmental contextualization.
  • NLP Classifiers: Customize and fine-tune Natural Language Processing (NLP) – based classification models, allowing you to classify and categorize both structured and unstructured data with greater accuracy.
  • Identity Graph: BigID is the first DSPM platform to support trainable identity graphs, which can automate data access and deletion rights. By leveraging AI, locate all connected data related to individuals, ensuring comprehensive data rights management.
  • Classification Logic: Refine findings with positive and negative word logic, allowing for better fine-tuning of data classifications. This level of logic ensures more accurate data identification and categorization.
  • AI Model Training: Safely train your own AI models from within the platform. Whether identifying sensitive documents, personal information, or text strings, these models can be tailored to your organization’s unique data needs.

Through these advanced AI-driven capabilities, create bespoke classifiers that are not only more accurate but also better aligned with the nuances of your data, risk profile, and industry regulations.
