Understand AI data security before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is it?
Forcepoint’s data security for the AI era — stopping sensitive data leaking into GenAI (ChatGPT, Copilot), discovering shadow AI, and securing AI prompts and agents.
Unmanaged AI vs DLP for AI — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Unmanaged GenAI use (leaking) | Forcepoint DLP for AI |
|---|---|---|
| AI channel | Uncovered by classic DLP | Prompt DLP |
| Data in GenAI | Leaking | Protected |
| Shadow AI | Invisible | Discovered |
| AI usage | Unmonitored | Monitored |
| Response to AI | Ban (drives it underground) | Enable safely |
| Agentic AI | Unsecured | Secured |
| Classification | AI silo | Shared with DLP/DSPM |
| Compliance | Regulated data into AI | Prevented |
Data security for the AI era — best integrated with DLP; a fast-emerging category (Microsoft, Zscaler entering).
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Shadow-AI Discovery
Discovers which AI tools your people actually use — including unsanctioned shadow AI you can’t currently see.
AI Usage Monitoring
Monitors AI interactions — what data is going into which AI tools, and the risk.
Prompt DLP
Applies DLP to AI prompts — stopping sensitive data being pasted into a chatbot or Copilot.
Agentic Security
Extends to autonomous AI agents that handle data — securing the next wave of AI.
AI Mesh
Forcepoint’s AI-native security fabric — data security woven into how AI is used.
Classification that reads context, not just patterns — so the policies built on top of it fire on the right files.
Twelve capabilities. Discover, monitor, protect.
Forcepoint DLP for AI discovers shadow AI, monitors AI usage, and applies prompt DLP — stopping sensitive data leaking into GenAI, with one shared classification.

Here’s what genuinely sets Forcepoint DLP for AI apart from the alternatives.
Employees are leaking data into AI right now
Employees paste confidential data, source code, customer records and IP into ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot and other GenAI tools every day, often via shadow AI, where it can be exposed, retained or used to train models. Forcepoint DLP for AI is how you stop one of the fastest-growing leak vectors.
Classic DLP may not see the AI channel
Classic DLP often doesn’t recognise the AI channel — a paste into a chatbot may not match the patterns it was built for. Forcepoint DLP for AI monitors AI usage and applies DLP to prompts, catching sensitive data pasted into GenAI — a gap even mature DLP programmes often leave open.
You can’t secure the AI you can’t see
Shadow AI — tools employees adopt without IT’s knowledge — is rampant, and you can’t protect data in tools you don’t know about. Forcepoint discovers the AI tools actually in use so you can govern them. Most organisations adopt AI far faster than they track it.
Secure agentic AI — the next wave
AI is moving from chatbots to autonomous agents that take actions and handle data, raising the stakes. Forcepoint’s AI security extends to agentic AI, securing the agents that increasingly process sensitive data — building for the agent era, not just guarding chatbot prompts.
Enable AI adoption safely — don’t ban it
Banning AI just drives it underground into more shadow AI and forfeits the productivity. Forcepoint DLP for AI lets people use these tools while preventing data leakage, so you get GenAI’s productivity without the data risk — safe enablement, not prohibition.
The honest positioning
Forcepoint AI Mesh / DLP for AI extends a leading DLP to AI, with one classification covering AI. Microsoft Purview, Zscaler, Netskope and others are moving into this fast-emerging category. TechBag scopes your AI attack surface and quotes in INR/GST.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Forcepoint DLP for AI stopped staff pasting sensitive data into ChatGPT and Copilot, a leak our classic DLP never saw.”
“Shadow-AI discovery was sobering — dozens of unsanctioned AI tools in use, handling our data. You can’t secure the AI you can’t see.”
“It let us enable AI safely instead of banning it — people keep the productivity, we prevent the leakage. Safe enablement, not prohibition.”
“Prompt DLP caught sensitive data heading into a chatbot in real time — inline protection on the AI channel. Exactly the control we needed.”
“It uses the same classification as our Forcepoint DLP — AI is just another channel of one policy. Consistent data protection, AI included.”
“Agentic AI security is forward-looking — as we deploy AI agents that handle data, Forcepoint is already securing them. Ahead of the curve.”
“Compliance drove it — regulated data leaking into AI is a DPDP and GDPR nightmare. DLP for AI prevents it, and TechBag mapped it to our obligations.”
“The category is new and moving fast — Microsoft and Zscaler are entering too. For integration with our DLP, Forcepoint fit. Scope the emerging space.”

What does AI data leakage cost you?
Drag the sliders (users; IT-hour cost as loaded rate). Estimates assume ~3 hours per user per year of AI-data-leak exposure (sensitive data into GenAI), with ~65% removed by DLP for AI — the avoided IP-loss and compliance-fine value from a single leaked dataset is the larger unpriced win. Illustrative.
