Enable AI safely — Forcepoint DLP for AI stops sensitive data leaking into ChatGPT and Copilot, discovers shadow AI, and secures AI prompts and agents — productivity kept, data leakage prevented.
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Forcepoint AI Mesh and DLP for AI secure data in the AI era — stopping sensitive data leaking into generative-AI tools (ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot and others), discovering shadow AI, monitoring AI usage, and securing AI prompts and agentic AI. The risk is real and immediate: employees paste confidential data, source code, customer records and intellectual property into GenAI tools — often via unsanctioned ‘shadow AI’ — where it can be exposed, retained or used to train models, and classic DLP may not even see these AI channels. Forcepoint’s DLP for AI extends data protection to them: discovering which AI tools are actually in use, monitoring AI interactions, and applying DLP to prompts — stopping sensitive data being pasted into a chatbot, and extending to secure the autonomous AI agents that increasingly handle data. AI Mesh is Forcepoint’s broader AI-native security fabric. Together they let organisations enable AI adoption safely — keeping the productivity of GenAI while preventing the data leakage that would otherwise make it a serious security and compliance risk.

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.
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Unmanaged GenAI use (leaking) | Forcepoint DLP for AI |
|---|---|---|
| AI channel | Uncovered by classic DLP | Prompt DLP |

| Agentic AI | Unsecured | Secured |
| Classification | AI silo | Shared with DLP/DSPM |
| Compliance | Regulated data into AI | Prevented |

This isn’t hypothetical: employees paste confidential data, source code, customer records and IP into ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot and other GenAI tools every day — often via unsanctioned shadow AI — where it can be exposed, retained, or used to train models. It’s one of the fastest-growing data-leak vectors, and it’s happening whether you’ve addressed it or not. Forcepoint DLP for AI is how you stop it — the urgent, immediate reason this category exists.
The AI channel is new, and classic DLP often doesn’t recognise or cover it — a paste into a chatbot may not match the leak patterns DLP was built for. Forcepoint DLP for AI extends data protection specifically to AI interactions: monitoring AI usage and applying DLP to prompts, so sensitive data pasted into GenAI is caught. Covering the AI channel closes a gap that even organisations with mature DLP often have wide open.
Shadow AI — the unsanctioned AI tools employees adopt without IT’s knowledge — is rampant, and you can’t protect data in AI tools you don’t know are being used. Forcepoint discovers the AI tools actually in use, so you have visibility to govern them. As with shadow IT before it, discovery is the essential first step — and most organisations are deploying and using AI far faster than they’re tracking it.
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 autonomous agents that increasingly process sensitive data. As agentic AI takes off, securing the data these agents touch becomes a critical new requirement, and Forcepoint is building for it ahead of the curve — not just guarding chatbot prompts, but the agent era.
The wrong response to AI data risk is to ban AI — which just drives it underground (more shadow AI) and forfeits the productivity. The right response is to enable AI safely: let people use these powerful tools while preventing the data leakage. Forcepoint DLP for AI does exactly that — so you get the productivity of GenAI without the data risk. Safe enablement, not prohibition, is what forward-looking organisations need, and it’s what this delivers.
Forcepoint AI Mesh / DLP for AI is data security for the AI era — best when you want AI data protection integrated with your DLP (one classification, AI included). It’s a fast-emerging category (Microsoft Purview, Zscaler, Netskope and others are moving here).

“Forcepoint DLP for AI stopped our people pasting sensitive data into ChatGPT and Copilot — a leak vector our classic DLP didn’t even see. The urgent new risk, addressed.”
“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.”

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.
