SAN JOSE, Calif., July 30, 2025 — Concentric AI today announced that it will showcase its industry-first enterprise data protections across GenAI use cases at Black Hat USA 2025. During the event on Aug. 6 and 7, Concentric AI will demonstrate its newly acquired capabilities for identifying “shadow GenAI” and safeguarding data while utilizing public GenAI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
The company’s AI and data security specialists will also be available to engage with attendees and discuss how the Semantic Intelligence platform secures data at rest, in motion, and across all the GenAI applications users interact with today.
Earlier this month, Concentric AI announced it had acquired Swift Security and Acante to deliver the industry’s first truly end-to-end data security governance platform. With these acquisitions, Concentric AI unifies data security posture management (DSPM), data loss prevention (DLP), and generative AI (GenAI) governance – spanning structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data across cloud and on-premises environments.
“The use of GenAI assistants and public and proprietary GenAI applications is rapidly expanding across all industry sectors,” said Karthik Krishnan, Concentric AI Founder and CEO. “While GenAI offers greater operational efficiencies, improved decision-making, and lower costs, it is essential to establish protections to prevent data leaks and ensure compliance with various regulatory frameworks. Our recent acquisitions enable Concentric AI to uniquely address these data security challenges within the industry, and we are excited to showcase some of this functionality to Black Hat attendees.”
Attendees are invited to visit Concentric AI’s booth #2464 during the Business Hall hours of 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. PDT on Aug. 6 and 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. PDT on Aug. 7. There, they can request a demo of the Semantic Intelligence platform with newly integrated capabilities, speak with data security experts, and get their Passports to Prizes stamped for a chance to win a prize.
Concentric AI’s recent acquisitions enhance the existing capabilities of its Semantic Intelligence platform, significantly improving its protection for enterprise data across all three states – at rest, in motion, and in use. The company goes beyond just securing sensitive data in GenAI assistant deployments like Microsoft Copilot by uniquely monitoring and preventing data exfiltration across public GenAI tools such as ChatGPT, and by ensuring effective data security governance of proprietary GenAI workloads. The expanded features include detecting “shadow GenAI,” curating data for proprietary GenAI applications, and maintaining proper access governance for these applications.
The Semantic Intelligence platform redefines what’s possible for data security governance. Instead of relying on rigid rules, keywords, or data samples, it uses its patented AI to understand the context behind structured and unstructured data across cloud and on-premises environments. This means it can not only find PII, PCI, and PHI with exceptional accuracy, but also discover intellectual property and critical business documents that other tools often miss. This result yields stronger, more accurate classifications and access and activity policies within the platform itself, as well as across a customer’s entire security stack. With continuous monitoring and remediation, risks such as overpermissioning and misclassified data are automatically handled.
