Traditional methods have limits

Pattern matching and trainable classifiers can struggle to consistently identify business-critical information.

Training takes time

Many classification approaches require security teams to create and maintain hundreds of sample records to achieve reliable results.

Better labels create better outcomes

The reliability of your classifications directly affects sensitivity labels, policy enforcement, and governance decisions.

You need data intelligence that understands meaning, not just patterns.
