Why Data + AI Security Is Critical

Traditional security was designed for firewalls, users, and devices — but data and AI bring new challenges:

• Sensitive data is stored in multiple locations, often without clear classification
• AI models ingesting training sets and pipelines that may include private data
• SaaS and cloud services are introducing hidden access points
• Regulators are demanding continuous proof of governance and compliance

The reality is clear: You can’t protect what you can’t see. Enterprises need live visibility and continuous monitoring of data flows, AI usage, and permissions to truly reduce risk.

The Role of Symmetry in Data + AI Security

As a trusted XSignOn partner, Symmetry provides advanced capabilities to help enterprises secure their data and AI ecosystems:

Discover & Classify – Instantly find structured and unstructured data across hybrid clouds, on-premises, and SaaS. Classify PII, PHI, financial records, and secrets with AI-powered scanning.

AI Inventory – Identify and track AI models, services, and integrations operating across your enterprise.

Data Detection & Response – Monitor in near real time who can access sensitive data, and how it’s being used.

AI Data Flow Protection – Identify what data is being shared with AI training sets, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models, and pipelines. Flag potential sensitive data exposure before it happens.

Governance & Compliance – Enforce robust controls, audit AI usage, and ensure data never leaves your custody or control.

This empowers XSignOn to deliver visibility, control, and trust at scale, combining our expertise in Zero Trust, privileged access, and compliance with Symmetry’s specialized AI-driven data security platform.

Data breaches are expensive, but AI-related exposures can be irreversible.

Consider: The average global cost of a data breach is $4.45M (IBM 2023), but in healthcare, it rises to $10.93M. Regulatory fines for GDPR non-compliance can reach €20M or 4% of annual global turnover. AI models trained on exposed sensitive data can’t simply “forget” — they must be retrained, costing time, money, and reputation.

By securing data and AI usage together, CXOs can:

• Protect customer trust and brand reputation
• Prove compliance to regulators and auditors
• Reduce the likelihood of mispriced cyber insurance coverage
• Ensure AI innovation doesn’t outpace security
