The artificial intelligence revolution has transformed how organizations approach productivity, creativity, and problem-solving. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini offer unprecedented capabilities for document analysis, content generation, and process automation. However, this powerful technology introduces significant security challenges—particularly when employees inadvertently share confidential information, intellectual property, or sensitive data with AI platforms that may not meet enterprise security standards. eScan's AI Platform Data Protection bridges this gap, enabling organizations to harness AI's productivity benefits while maintaining strict control over sensitive information.
eScan's AI Platform Data Protection is a comprehensive security solution designed specifically to address the unique challenges of AI tool usage in enterprise environments. As organizations increasingly adopt generative AI tools for various business functions, traditional security measures prove inadequate for the new data sharing paradigms these platforms create.
The solution provides granular control over what information can be shared with AI platforms, distinguishing between legitimate business use cases and potentially risky data exposure scenarios. Unlike blanket blocking approaches that eliminate productivity benefits, this technology enables secure AI adoption by monitoring data flows, enforcing corporate policies, and preventing unauthorized use of personal AI accounts for business purposes.
By focusing on data classification and context-aware controls, eScan ensures that employees can leverage AI tools for approved tasks while preventing sensitive information from leaving the organization's security boundaries. This approach maintains data sovereignty—the principle that organizations retain control over their information regardless of which external services they use.
The system analyzes all data being uploaded or shared with AI platforms in real-time, using advanced content classification algorithms to identify sensitive information including:
• Financial data and proprietary business information
• Customer records and personally identifiable information
• Intellectual property and trade secrets
• Confidential communications and strategic documents
• Regulatory compliance-sensitive information
The solution recognizes and monitors interactions with all major AI platforms including:
• ChatGPT (OpenAI)
• Claude (Anthropic)
• Google Gemini (formerly Bard)
• Microsoft Copilot
• Bing Chat
• Custom enterprise AI deployments
The system distinguishes between corporate-managed AI accounts and personal accounts, enforcing policies that prevent the use of personal AI services for business data while allowing approved corporate AI subscriptions to function normally.
Protection extends across all common access methods:
• Web browsers accessing AI platforms
• Standalone AI applications
• Browser extensions and plugins
• Mobile applications
• API integrations
Policies can be customized based on user roles, departments, data types, and specific AI use cases. For example, marketing teams might be permitted to use AI for content creation while being blocked from sharing customer databases.
Rather than simply blocking entire interactions, the system can selectively redact sensitive portions of documents or communications, allowing employees to leverage AI capabilities while protecting confidential information.
The Explosive Growth of AI Tool Usage
The adoption of AI tools in enterprise environments has accelerated dramatically, creating new security challenges that traditional data protection measures weren't designed to address:
The rapid adoption of AI tools has outpaced security measure implementation, creating significant gaps in data protection:
Critical Risks of Uncontrolled AI Usage
Unlike solutions that focus on specific AI services, eScan's AI Platform Data Protection monitors and controls interactions across all major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and emerging AI services. This comprehensive coverage ensures consistent protection regardless of which AI tools your organization adopts.
The solution goes beyond simple keyword matching to understand document context, data sensitivity, and potential risk levels. This intelligent analysis enables precise control decisions that balance security with productivity.
Administrators can create sophisticated policies based on user roles, departments, data types, and specific AI use cases. This granularity allows organizations to enable productive AI usage while maintaining strict controls over sensitive information.
Rather than blocking AI tools entirely, the solution provides clear guidance when content is restricted, helping users understand appropriate AI usage while maintaining productivity. This approach reduces shadow IT and encourages compliance.
All AI platform interactions are thoroughly documented, creating comprehensive audit trails for compliance purposes and security investigations. This visibility helps organizations demonstrate due diligence in protecting sensitive information.
The solution protects against data exposure through various channels including direct uploads, copy-paste operations, screen sharing, and file attachments, ensuring comprehensive coverage of AI interaction methods.
The system continuously learns from organizational patterns and policy decisions, improving its classification accuracy and reducing false positives over time while maintaining robust protection.
