Securing your organization’s sensitive data requires knowing what and where it is, and this requires data discovery and classification. Cybersecurity expert Chris Morris explains in “What Is the Role of AI in Discovery and Classification?” that automation powered by AI can massively increase the speed and accuracy of these processes. This Forcepoint “Spotlight On” video is the fifth and final installment of the exclusive “5 Steps to Data Security Everywhere” video series. 

AI has amazing data-processing capabilities, and Chris describes how these level up the important work of data discovery and classification. This technology helps to provide visibility into the types of data found throughout your organization, where they reside and who has access to them. This system delivers a high degree of accuracy in correctly classifying data and can also process huge amounts of data in a relatively short amount of time. 

Chris ends by explaining how AI-powered data discovery and classification positively impact your organization, giving you the knowledge about your data that you need in order to protect it.
