Generative AI is already integrated and interconnected within business processes. Your data, your code, your strategy: they are more vulnerable than ever before. e3 and Symantec create safe spaces for a digital world in which machines want to know everything – and will get whatever remains unprotected.
Whether ChatGPT translates internal reports or Copilot writes lines of code – AI acts quickly, cleverly, and largely reliably. But this newfound efficiency comes with risks: once information enters AI systems, it is hard to retrieve. Your leaked content is analyzed, stored, and processed further without your knowledge or control. Without active countermeasures, you give away your knowledge – and with it, your most valuable capital – voluntarily. Day after day, prompt by prompt.
The new reality: AI channels act as data vacuums and create new security gaps. Every document, every piece of information can become part of global models. Data protection, intellectual property, compliance? These exist only in theory if the architecture is flawed. Without protection, confidential material becomes publicly analyzable, strategic information arbitrary, and knowledge turns into training material. e3 and Symantec build systems that prevent this.
Intelligent Cybersecurity Solutions from e3 and Symantec as the Answer
Artificial intelligence presents many challenges for companies, but also exciting opportunities. e3 and Symantec combine their long-standing expertise to help businesses use AI in a targeted, profitable way while minimizing risks.
-
Automatically identify and evaluate sensitive data: AI is used to detect and classify confidential information. This can include personal data in an HR document or sensitive financial information in an Excel report. Even if employees work remotely or use different software, Symantec DLP combined with e3 DLP consistently secures information.
-
Monitor AI communication channels: To control where confidential information is shared, Symantec DLP treats AI applications like ChatGPT or Copilot as independent communication channels – similar to email or web browsers. Only through such holistic monitoring can you ensure that sensitive information does not leave your company unnoticed.
-
Manage incidents with AI-driven analysis: With AI analytics, your security teams can detect, assess, and prioritize security incidents more quickly. This can greatly increase efficiency and response speed.
-
Use generative AI systems locally: By deploying local, on-premises AI systems within your company, you can make generative AI available to development teams, benefiting from new technologies and efficiency gains while ensuring security.
-
Encrypt data before uploading to SaaS applications: When data is needed for SaaS applications, it can be protected with field-level encryption. Specific data fields, such as those in forms or databases, are encrypted before entering SaaS applications and being accessed by integrated AI modules. While structured data is protected with field encryption, unstructured data like documents or emails is secured through rights management – i.e., defined policies governing access, editing, and sharing. Combined, these approaches deliver seamless, end-to-end information protection.
-
Tailor-made solutions through consulting: e3 and Symantec provide individual consulting and support you in implementing your security strategy. By ensuring AI use complies with data protection requirements, you can safeguard both efficiency and innovation.
Future-Proof Cybersecurity for Your Digital Transformation
For over 25 years, e3 has been protecting information from unauthorized access. Today, it’s about more: digital self-defense in a world where data can be copied, read, and misused at any time. Together with Symantec and Arrow, e3 develops security solutions for companies that understand: those who do not protect their data not only lose control – but also their future.
