The Semantic Intelligence solution will help joint customers find, evaluate, and protect personal, health, and financial data so they can meet demanding regulatory requirements and prevent sensitive data loss.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Concentric AI, a vendor of intelligent AI-based solutions for autonomous data security posture management (DSPM), today announced it has partnered with Cohesity, the AI-powered data security and management company, to integrate its Semantic Intelligence solution. This integration will benefit joint customers by making Concentric AI’s data security posture management capabilities readily available on the Cohesity Data Cloud.

Concentric AI safeguards business-critical data and manages data security risks to support Cohesity in its mission to protect the world’s data. The Semantic Intelligence solution will help joint customers find, evaluate, and protect personal, health, and financial data so they can meet demanding regulatory requirements and prevent sensitive data loss.

“Concentric AI's advanced deep-learning technology solves the ongoing challenges of cloud data security and improves data security posture management,” said Karthik Krishnan, Concentric AI CEO. “Our integration with the Cohesity Data Cloud will offer simple, autonomous discovery of sensitive and regulated data to deliver a comprehensive picture of where these critical data elements reside. We offer joint customers the tools they need for a complete and accurate picture of their most sensitive data assets.”

“We’re excited to welcome Concentric AI to the Cohesity Data Security Alliance. Having a broad ecosystem means customers can count on us to support their existing and future investments. We look forward to building upon our partnership to further empower joint customers,” said Joseph Razavian, senior director, Business Development & Alliances, Cohesity.

Concentric AI’s DSPM solution provides organizations with a clear view of everything they need to know about their sensitive data – where it is, who has access to it, and how it has been used. Concentric AI identifies and classifies all of an organization’s sensitive data no matter where it resides – from intellectual property to financial information to PII/PCI/PHI data – without rules or complex policies. In addition, it remediates risk in real-time, leveraging an AI-driven solution for seamless and effective data management and security.

Concentric AI’s Semantic Intelligence DSPM solution scans organizations’ data, detects sensitive or business critical content, identifies the most appropriate classification category, and automatically tags the data. Concentric AI uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve discovery and classification accuracy and efficiency to avoid endless regex rules and inaccurate end user labeling.

In addition, Concentric AI can monitor and autonomously identify risk to financial and other data from inappropriate permissioning, wrong entitlements, risky sharing, and unauthorized access. It can automatically remediate permissions and sharing issues or leverage other security solutions and cloud APIs to quickly and continuously protect exposed data.

Concentric AI’s Semantic Intelligence automates unstructured and structured data security using deep learning to categorize data, uncover business criticality and reduce risk. Its Risk Distance analysis technology uses the baseline security practices observed for each data category to spot security anomalies in individual files.

It compares documents of the same type to identify risk from oversharing, third-party access, wrong location, or misclassification. Organizations benefit from the expertise of content owners without intrusive classification mandates, with no rules, regex, or policy maintenance needed.
