Trellix launches enhanced data security capabilities and a three-part framework to help enterprises gain visibility, control, and governance over sensitive data in both sanctioned and shadow AI tools.
Trellix, a global leader in intelligence-led cyber resilience, has introduced enhanced data security capabilities and a three-part framework to help organizations confidently adopt generative AI while protecting sensitive data from exposure and loss.
With 88% of businesses implementing AI in at least one function in 2025, new risks have emerged as traditional security controls struggle to keep pace. Shadow AI usage is increasing, and even sanctioned AI tools can lead to data leaks when clear policies and controls are absent. Data breach costs have also risen by an average of $670,000 due to these challenges.
"The rapid adoption of AI tools across the enterprise is creating new and often invisible data risks,” said Alex Au Yeung, Chief Product Officer, Trellix. "Trellix brings together policy, visibility, and enforcement in a unified framework to help customers control how data is used across both sanctioned and shadow AI.”
“The regulatory landscape around data security continues to evolve, making compliance a moving target,” said Kristin Lowery, Field CISO, Optiv. “As organizations increasingly leverage AI in the workplace, having the right controls and visibility is essential to ensure compliant data-handling practices and prevent potential data leaks. This combination of associate training, data-handling processes, and controls is critical for responsibly integrating new AI tools.”
Trellix’s approach combines technology enhancements with governance to deliver visibility, control, and enforcement across AI workflows.
Trellix DLP with AI Data Risk Dashboard Monitors and prevents sensitive data loss to AI tools, provides real-time visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage, identifies high-risk activity across endpoints and networks, and enables centralized incident response.
Trellix Database Security with Analytics Hub Protects against unauthorized access with zero-downtime patching support. It monitors activity and vulnerabilities, scores database risk, and helps teams quickly address high-risk areas to prevent data loss.
Trellix Data Encryption Restricts access to sensitive data across devices, files, and removable media, ensuring AI tools cannot read protected information while allowing only authorized users access.
Trellix Professional Services Offers end-to-end support including:
These capabilities work together to create clear usage policies, reinforce them through training and governance, and provide real-time visibility and enforcement.
This integrated framework enables organizations to harness AI for productivity while maintaining strong control over sensitive data and minimizing breach risks.
