About DLP for Gen AI Application
The rapid adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) applications presents unprecedented opportunities for innovation and productivity. However, this advancement also introduces significant data security challenges, primarily the risk of sensitive information being exposed or leaked during AI interactions. To address these critical concerns, Skyhigh Security offers a robust Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution tailored specifically for GenAI environments, delivered through two distinct modes:
- Inline Proxy Mode. Provides real-time protection of sensitive data during file uploads.
- API-driven DLP Mode. Provides near real-time and offline scanning of data.
Inline DLP Proxy Mode
The Inline DLP Proxy mode provides immediate, real-time data protection for sensitive data across a wide range of GenAI applications, including Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, DeepSeek, and others. This mode excels at preventing data loss during file uploads by providing real-time pre-scans for web-based applications. Additionally, all uploads, including those on web socket-based applications such as Microsoft 365 Copilot and end-to-end encryption-based applications such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, are instantly scanned to prevent the leakage of sensitive information.
This capability is a core component of Skyhigh Web DLP offerings, enabling enterprises to establish and enforce DLP policies tailored to their specific data governance requirements. To create DLP policies for web, see Create Web DLP Polices, and to configure real-time pre-scanning of your data via web, see Enable Real-Time DLP Scan for Files Uploaded via Browser.
API driven DLP Mode
The API driven DLP mode provides both near real-time and offline scanning of data, providing a more thorough and retrospective analysis of sensitive information within GenAI applications.
Skyhigh Security recognizes that many enterprises require fine-grained control over GenAI applications. A common scenario involves organizations that prefer to block most AI applications but strategically permit the use of selected applications, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise which is increasingly adopted for its advanced features and enhanced security.
To address these specific enterprise needs, especially for leading applications such as Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise, Skyhigh Security has developed a specialized approach by implementing direct API connectivity. This deep integration allows for more nuanced policy enforcement and greater control over data within highly integrated and critical business tools. For details, see DLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot via API and DLP for ChatGPT via API.
Skyhigh unified strategy, leveraging both proxy and API-driven DLP, empowers enterprises to uphold strong data security throughout their Generative AI environments, striking a balance between fostering innovation and adhering to strict data governance standards.
