AI's role in Data Loss Prevention: Moving beyond detection to judgment

A recent study found that over 80% of findings from regex and PII-focused models were false positives, highlighting the need for human judgment. The author, Harsh Singhal, proposes that agentic AI systems, which can understand context and organizational specifics, are better suited to bridge the gap between detection and decision-making in data security.
