New AI-powered features built into the CipherTrust Data Security Platform utilizing Google Cloud's foundation models and generative AI support in Vertex AI1 to automate the Discovery and Protection of critical data

Collaboration will enable the automation of fundamental tasks for customers and help ensure data security

ThalesThales, a global leader in technology and security, announced a new partnership with Google Cloud to develop new data security capabilities powered by generative AI that will improve companies ability to discover, classify and protect their most sensitive data. The partnership is part of Thales generative AI strategy, bringing new AI-powered features and experiences to users of Thales CipherTrust data security platform. A growing number of organisations are storing sensitive information in the cloud. However, only 24% of them know where all of their data is stored, according to the 2023 Thales Data Threat Report. In collaboration with Google Cloud, Thales will use AI to enhance the ability of its CipherTrust Data Security Platform to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data in the cloud, enabling businesses to accelerate operational efficiency, time to compliance, and the closure of security gaps.

The CipherTrust Platform's Intelligent Protection service will add a new machine learning feature, Data Discovery and Classification Machine Learning,' powered by Vertex AI, enhancing conventional discovery and classification. With machine learning, data is classified into various categories and subcategories, leveraging named entity recognition' to discover a range of sensitive information types. Machine learning techniques will augment Data Discovery and Classification by using semantic context to discover and classify sensitive information from a range of corporate document repositories while ensuring sensitive data remains within set boundaries.

Sebastien Cano, Senior Vice President of Cloud Protection and Licensing activities at Thales: Through this collaboration, Google Cloud's leading AI capabilities will further enhance the performance of the Thales CipherTrust platform's Intelligent Protection, which aims to solve security challenges through the discovery and classification of sensitive information. Together, these technologies will allow for powerful, AI-backed features that automate fundamental tasks for customers and ensure their sensitive data in the cloud remains securely protected and within established policies.

Sunil Potti, General Manager and Vice President of Cloud Security at Google Cloud: Data accessibility and protection in the cloud is essential to enterprise success. We are proud to partner with Thales to bring their CipherTrust Intelligent Protection platform and our Vertex AI solution together, helping customers enjoy faster, streamlined experiences to discover and classify their most critical data without fearing infiltration or theft of sensitive information.

1 Vertex AI is a Google machine learning (ML) platform that lets you train and deploy ML models and AI applications, and customize Google proprietary models (LLMs, Vision, Timeseries and more) for use in AI-powered applications.
