I’ve spent more than 20 years in cybersecurity—at the front lines, in the boardrooms and, occasionally, in the crisis rooms. I’ve seen everything: ransomware attacks, billion-dollar data breaches, Bitcoin negotiations and the rising tide of AI-driven threats. And through it all, one truth has always remained:

It all comes back to data.

Not infrastructure. Not applications. Data.

It’s the one thing organizations cannot outsource. You can hand off your cloud, your software stack, your platforms—but your data is always your responsibility. It’s your intellectual property, your regulated customer records, your trade secrets. And if something goes wrong, you’re on the hook—for GDPR, for DPDPA, for every global regulation that governs data use and protection.

That’s why we built Getvisibility. We didn’t set out to start a company—we set out to solve a real problem: helping large, complex enterprises understand what data they have, where it lives and how to secure it in context. We couldn’t find a solution off the shelf, so we built one. With AI Mesh technology at its core, Getvisibility gives organizations clarity on their data and confidence in how to protect it. Our patented AI Mesh technology is an interconnected network of fine-tuned, task-specific AI models that provide exceptional accuracy and context for applications like data discovery, data classification and risk-based prioritization and mitigation.

Now, as part of Forcepoint, we’re scaling that mission into something even more powerful: a unified platform for knowing, adapting and protecting data—everywhere it moves.

Know what you have

Forcepoint and Getvisibility together provide deep, AI-driven insight into sensitive data—whether it’s in the cloud, on the network, in SaaS apps or sitting on an endpoint. Our AI Mesh creates a data map and risk dashboard that reveals not just what data exists, but why it matters—to your industry, your policies and your people.

We’re not talking about simple tags like “Confidential” or “Internal.” We’re talking about hundreds of contextual labels across thousands of files—processed in seconds by AI, not humans—giving organizations a rich understanding of data risk. That’s how you build Zero Trust foundations. That’s how you enable safe innovation.

Adapt to change

Risk isn’t static. Compliance mandates evolve. Generative AI brings new exposure points every day. If you can’t keep up, you fall behind—or worse, fall victim.

With Forcepoint’s inline policy enforcement and Getvisibility’s customizable AI Mesh, businesses gain the agility to respond in real time. Our classification models are explainable, auditable, and adaptable—to industries, departments, regulators, even individual risk appetites. That’s critical when your environment spans AWS, Azure, Google and beyond.

We’re not just securing the cloud—we’re securing the data across clouds, endpoints, email, networks, websites, across users, across time.

Protect what matters

The final step is execution. Forcepoint has long defined the gold standard in Data Loss Prevention (DLP), CASB, SWG and inline, adaptive risk response. Combined with Getvisibility’s DSPM, DDR and rich contextual awareness, we now give organizations the ability to not only find and assess sensitive data—but to automatically protect it, according to a single set of policies, wherever data travels. Our unified platform can instantly detect risky behavior and enforce security before any data loss happens.

This is more than fighting AI with AI. Importantly, it’s about grounding your AI strategy in a solid data foundation—so all the exciting things you want to do with AI won’t fall apart due to a lack of understanding, compliance or trust.

That’s why our partnership has worked so well over the last several years. Forcepoint is becoming an AI-first, SaaS-first company while staying true to its roots securing hybrid environments. And we’re here to help make data security a competitive advantage—not a compliance checkbox. That means fewer false positives. Faster decisions. More secure workflows. And the confidence to go faster, not slower, with AI.

As I take on the role of Chief Data Strategy Officer, and Getvisibility’s co-founder and CEO Mark Brosnan becomes Head of Engineering for DSPM, we’re not just joining Forcepoint—we’re helping evolve it.

Because when you know your data, you can adapt to risk.
When you adapt, you can protect what matters.
And when you do that, you don’t just stay compliant—you move forward, securely.
