The Problem
Emails are a primary channel for communication but also a significant source of data security risks. Sensitive information, such as PII, PHI, financial data, or intellectual property, is often shared in email bodies and attachments.
Organizations face the following challenges:
- Detecting sensitive data in real time before emails are sent or received.
- Preventing unintentional sharing of sensitive information externally.
- Enforcing remediation actions consistently across email platforms while maintaining user productivity.
