The Biggest AI Security Risk is Data Exposure
AI can reach, use, and expose sensitive data faster than security teams can respond.
Sensitive Data Flows Into AI
Employees can upload prompts, files, screenshots, and business data into GenAI tools, including unsanctioned shadow AI.
Approved AI Can Overreach
Copilots and agents can inherit broad access, retrieve sensitive data, and assemble context no single user was meant to see.
Policies Are Hard to Enforce
AI governance policies only work if teams know what data AI is using, whose data it is, and whether that use should be allowed or blocked.
Find AI Data Risk. Take Action. Prove Control.
Lightbeam connects sensitive data to identity, access, and business context, then turns that context into enforceable policies that reduce risk.
AI risk starts with the data it can reach.
Lightbeam maps sensitive data to identity, purpose, and risk, then enforces guardrails for AI use.
- . Assess AI data risk
- . Block unauthorized AI use
- . Redact sensitive AI exposure
- . Revoke risky access
- . Minimize unnecessary data
Stop Shadow AI
Discover unauthorized AI use and block sensitive data from flowing into unsanctioned GenAI tools, copilots, and AI apps.
Apply AI Data Security Policies
Classify, label, and control sensitive data so approved AI tools use the right data safely. |
Enforce Least Privilege AI Access
Reduce excessive access for users, applications, copilots, agents, and third-party SaaS AI before AI amplifies exposure.

Beyond Traditional AI Security
Lightbeam applies data-aware AI guardrails to detect shadow AI use, protect approved AI tools, and enforce governance policies across sensitive data.
The Lightbeam Advantage
-
Block Unauthorized AI Use
Monitor and block sensitive data going to shadow AI tools and unauthorized GenAI platforms.
-
Protect Approved AI Tools
Secure sensitive data used by copilots, RAG workflows, GenAI platforms, and AI agents.
-
Classify and Label Data for AI
Identify sensitive, non-sensitive, real, and synthetic data to control AI ingestion and use.
-
Enforce AI Governance Policies
Apply policies by user, agent, data type, sensitivity, entity profile, destination, threshold, and risk.
Traditional Industry Approach
-
Tool-Centric Visibility
Many tools monitor prompts or applications without understanding sensitive data involved.
-
Limited Shadow AI Control
Unauthorized AI use discovered after sensitive data already left company control.
-
Weak Data Context
Policies often lack identity, sensitivity, business purpose, entity context.
-
Manual Investigation
Teams manually determine what was shared, who prompted it, and what risk it created.
