We hope you'll join us!

Misclassified data is more common — and riskier — than you think. 

In this short demo, see how Concentric AI identifies and remediates sensitive data that’s been mislabeled or left unprotected across your cloud and on-prem environments. 

Our patented deep learning technology contextually discovers and thematically categorizes all your structured and unstructured data, so you can confidently classify it. 

From financials hidden in shared drives to contracts sitting in open folders — we find it, fix it, and secure it. 

Watch the demo.

Use Case: Misclassified Data

You know that file from 2017 called “final_final_v3.docx”? Yeah, it’s still costing you money.

While all that redundant and stale data is certainly clutter, it’s also risk in disguise.

Old docs, duplicate forms, and untouched files quietly and low-key drive up storage costs, break your retention policies, and leave sensitive data exposed.

In our latest video, you’ll see how Concentric AI helps you:
* Identify stale and duplicate data
* Clean it up (without losing what matters)
* Cut cost and risk at the same time

Hit the play button below to find out how you can declutter all that old data.

Use Case: Stale and Redundant Data

Join us to hear Karthik Krishnan, Founder and CEO of Concentric AI, and Paul Pak, Managing Director, CISO, and Head of Information Governance at Jennison Associates talk about the wide-ranging impacts of GenAI on business operations. 

You’ll learn how Concentric AI’s recent technology acquisitions expand the company’s protections across multiple GenAI use cases and give organizations the capability to:
• Dynamically monitor all user interactions with GenAI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot—and prevent them from accessing what they shouldn’t
• Monitor public GenAI usage by employees and make informed allow/deny decisions to prevent data loss
• Ensure that the data being used to train proprietary GenAI models is scrubbed of sensitive information that’s outside their purview before it’s even ingested

Securing Data in the Age of GenAI

Join Justin Lam at 451 Research Industry Analyst, and Karthik Krishnan, Founder & CEO of @Concentric AI, for a discussion on the importance of data security for business resilience.

Watch this webcast and learn how to strengthen your own organization’s data security initiatives for improved resilience and increased ROI.

From Data Security Readiness to ROI

Did you know that one in three unstructured files is a duplicate or near-duplicate? It’s driving up your cloud storage costs and exposing sensitive data in places it shouldn't be.

This video shows you exactly how Concentric AI finds and remediates duplicate data across your environment. No name-matching, no guesswork, no headaches. Just real, context-aware intelligence and easy remediation that doesn’t put your business at risk.

Check it out below to see how easy it is to spot the clutter, cut the risk, and stop paying to secure the same damn file 12 times.

Use Case: Data Duplication

Think data security has to be complicated? Think again.

Concentric AI’s Semantic Intelligence platform makes data security easy by giving you clear answers to these 3 critical questions:
- What data do you have?
- Where is it?
- Who has access?

No agents, no regex, no complex rules... Just AI that understands the context of your data.

 Watch this 2-minute overview to find out how you can master data security with Concentric AI.

Concentric AI Overview

Let's dig into one of the most overlooked data risks in business today: good ol’ external link sharing. In our most recent data risk report, each organization had 443 data records at‑risk due to oversharing per employee. Link-based risky sharing is around 100,000 documents per enterprise.

Check out our latest video, and in just a few minutes, you'll see how Concentric AI gives you a clear view into:
* What’s being shared externally
* Who it’s shared with
* How it’s being shared

Then, most importantly, we show you how to fix it.

Use Case: External File Sharing

If someone asked who had access to your sensitive financial data right now, could you answer confidently? For most security teams and CISOs, the answer is… not exactly.

That’s why data access governance (DAG) is so crucial for data security. DAG is all about defining and enforcing policies for how data is accessed and used. It includes defining roles and responsibilities for those who have access to data, setting up processes for granting and revoking access, and auditing data access. 

In our new walkthrough video, you’ll see how Concentric AI makes it easy to identify exactly who has access to your sensitive data—including internal users, external collaborators, and over-permissioned groups.

No policies to configure and no regex to maintain. Just automatic, accurate and easy access reporting.

Use Case: Data Access Governance Audit Reporting

In this demo, we’re going to monitor and report on any potential risky user activity for an employee that we know is going to be off-boarded.

Use Case: Activity Risk Monitoring

Compliance regulations are like a double-edged sword: they’re great for privacy and security but require resources to maintain. Many organizations are struggling to keep up. 

But with Concentric AI’s compliance dashboard, you can now identify data risk within your environments as it applies to several compliance frameworks. We can also help remediate those issues and satisfy compliance regulations like no other solution on the market. 

You get out-of-the-box monitoring and reporting for popular regulations and frameworks including HIPAA, NIST, PCI, HITRUST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GLBA, SOX, GDPR, CCPA, and others. And track your progress and risk across multiple regulatory standards down to every rule and control.

Concentric AI Semantic Intelligence for Compliance

Enterprises have an abundance of sensitive data that they need to identify, classify, protect, and manage. However, this data is distributed across on-premises and cloud environments and is typically rife with undiscovered and shadow data. The velocity of this data, along with new use cases like Generative AI tools, make data security governance more complex than ever.
 
Join Todd Thiemann, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), and Karthik Krishnan, Founder and CEO of Concentric AI, for a fireside chat on how data security posture management (DSPM) and modern data security governance enable enterprises to remove risk and cut costs to operate more efficiently.
 
This session will cover:
• Recently published research from ESG on data resilience and DSPM
• The primary use cases for DSPM
• How DSPM is evolving to become data security governance
• The Concentric AI strategy for securing GenAI infrastructure

Modern Data Security Governance in the Generative AI Era
