Fresh tools give security teams visibility into AI usage and safeguard sensitive information entered via prompts, pasted text, and file uploads.
AI transforms how work gets done—its interface, speed, and scope—yet understanding where sensitive data flows and enforcing proper safeguards remains a constant need.— Mirek Kren, CEO of Safetica
Safetica, a firm specializing in Intelligent Data Security, has introduced Safetica AI Protection. This offering merges AI Governance with data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities, enabling security teams to track both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI tools while shielding sensitive data without imposing blanket restrictions on AI access.
With generative AI now woven into daily tasks, corporate information frequently travels through prompts, copied content, and file uploads. According to Safetica's H1 2026 Data Protection Trends report, AI tools emerged as the leading risky application category in Q2 2026, capturing 40.7% of all risky application flags. Within that dataset, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot jointly accounted for 82.3% of blocked AI-related activities.
"Work patterns are evolving, and data protection must evolve alongside them. AI is becoming a standard part of the workplace, much like email, collaboration tools, and cloud services," said Mirek Kren, Safetica's CEO. "AI alters the interface, speed, and scale of work, but the need to track sensitive data and apply suitable protections never changes. Safetica AI Protection brings that capability into AI interactions, allowing businesses to embrace these tools while safeguarding data and preserving efficiency."
Safetica AI Protection integrates AI Governance with DLP policies tailored for AI assistants. The governance component offers a central perspective on both approved and shadow AI applications, detailing who uses them, usage frequency, data shared, and where safeguards exist. An integrated chat interface lets security teams delve into usage and risk information, summarize findings, and pinpoint actions to bolster security.
Additionally, Safetica extends DLP policies to widely used AI assistants. Security teams can oversee and manage sensitive file attachments, copied or pasted text, and prompts based on factors like application, data sensitivity, user role, department, and activity. Support includes ChatGPT Classic, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot within desktop apps and Chromium-based browsers on Windows and macOS.
This policy-driven approach allows organizations to block sensitive data sharing while permitting AI use that aligns with established guidelines to proceed uninterrupted.
