Agentic Data Loss Prevention
Real-time, reasoning-driven protection for data in motion.
For two decades, DLP has meant brittle regular expressions, endless false positives, and business-slowing blocks that push employees toward workarounds. The tools were built for on-premise email and file servers, not for cloud mail, SaaS, and generative AI, where a single click or paste can exfiltrate the crown jewels.
Why legacy DLP fails
Weakness | Consequence |
|---|---|
Regex-only detection | High false positives, easily evaded, no context |
Rule sprawl | Unmaintainable policies; drift and gaps |
Binary block/allow | Business disruption and shadow workarounds |
No recipient context | Treats internal and external the same |
Blind to attachments | Sensitive data hides in PDFs, Office files, images |
No learning | Same mistakes forever |
The Himaya model: agentic DLP
A hybrid detection brain: high-precision patterns for structured secrets plus LLM reasoning for unstructured, contextual sensitivity.
Region-aware and multilingual: Emirates ID, Saudi National ID, Iqama, and Arabic content alongside global data types.
Deep attachment inspection that extracts and scans actual content of PDFs, Office files, RTF, EML, and text inside images via OCR.
Context-aware, graduated action: allow, warn, hold, block, recall, escalated by recipient and severity.
Two enforcement paths, one brain: real-time inline at the SMTP layer (fail-open) and API-based inspection with autonomous recall.
Continuous learning and audit: every event logged, mapped to compliance, and fed back to reduce false positives.
Regional fit
For the GCC: in-region deployment, native regional detection, and automatic SAMA/NCA/NESA/CBUAE mapping. For the US: BEC and financial-data protection with graduated action, plus HIPAA/GLBA/CCPA coverage. Globally: one detection brain, adapted per tenant, deployed in-region to satisfy residency everywhere.
Stop tuning regexes. Start protecting data with an agent that understands it, one that reads the document, weighs the recipient, and acts in proportion to real risk instead of a pattern match.
