AI is fundamentally changing how organizations create, access, and share data. Employees use AI assistants to summarize documents, developers rely on coding copilots, and autonomous AI agents retrieve information across enterprise applications. These technologies are accelerating innovation and productivity, but they are also creating new pathways for sensitive data exposure. To help organizations securely embrace AI, Sentra, the AI Data Readiness Platform, and Bold Security, the real-time endpoint data protection platform, today announced a strategic technology partnership that combines continuous data intelligence with risk-based endpoint enforcement.
The partnership addresses a critical gap in modern data security. Many organizations have invested in tools that discover and classify sensitive data, while separate security controls monitor data activity and prevent exfiltration on the endpoint. Because these technologies often operate independently, security teams lack the full context they need to make accurate, risk-based decisions.
Sentra continuously discovers, classifies, and governs sensitive information across cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, databases, file shares, and on-premises environments. The platform continuously maintains an accurate understanding of data sensitivity, ownership, access permissions, exposure levels, and governance requirements as environments evolve.
Bold extends that intelligence to the endpoint. Bold runs AI locally on the device to understand data by meaning and analyze behavior and user intent. So when a user attempts to upload sensitive information into an AI assistant, copy confidential files, or share regulated information outside approved channels, Bold evaluates the action using the rich context provided by Sentra before determining the appropriate response. Depending on organizational policy, Bold can educate the user, redirect the workflow to an approved application, request additional justification, or block the action entirely.
The integration enables Bold to consume Sentra's continuously updated data intelligence, including data classifications, sensitivity labels, ownership metadata, exposure risk, access permissions, and governance context. This shared intelligence allows endpoint policies to make decisions based on the actual business risk rather than relying exclusively on pattern matching or static rules.
"AI has fundamentally changed how organizations interact with their most valuable asset: their data. Visibility alone is no longer sufficient, and enforcement without context creates unnecessary friction. Our partnership with Bold combines AI Data Readiness with AI-native endpoint protection so organizations can confidently adopt AI while ensuring sensitive information remains protected wherever it is used."

About Sentra
Sentra is the AI Data Readiness platform for enterprises deploying AI at scale. Sentra continuously discovers, classifies, and governs sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, data warehouses, and AI environments giving security teams complete visibility into what AI systems can access, what they can expose, and where compliance violations exist.
About Bold Security
Bold is real-time data security for the modern endpoint. Bold runs AI directly on the device to classify data by meaning and context, identify risk in how people and AI interact with it, and prevent data from leaving in the moment without data ever leaving the device.
