AI data protection and DLP from endpoint to cloud

Machine-learning classification finds sensitive data wherever it moves and stops it from leaving, across the network and the endpoint

Why it matters

Protect the data, not just the perimeter

Sensitive data no longer stays in one place. It moves between laptops, email, SaaS apps and cloud storage, and a single upload or attachment can send it outside the business. Traditional data loss prevention (DLP) relies on brittle keyword rules that either miss real leaks or flood the team with false alarms.

Hermes uses machine-learning classification to recognise sensitive data by what it is, not just by matching patterns. Policy is enforced inline on the Hermes edge and on the endpoint, so data can be blocked before it leaves, wherever the user is working.

Capabilities

How Hermes protects your data

One policy across the network edge and the endpoint

AI classification

Identify sensitive data by its content and context, without maintaining brittle rules.

Inline enforcement

Block exfiltration in real time on the Hermes edge, before data leaves the site.

Endpoint coverage

The 360 Guard agent extends the same policy to laptops wherever they are.

Cloud and SaaS paths

Inspect uploads to SaaS and cloud storage on the way out.

Application visibility

See which applications carry sensitive data across your network.

Logs and reports

Central logs and reports of policy events support your audits.

FAQ

AI data protection and DLP FAQ

Data loss prevention (DLP) is a set of controls that detect sensitive data, such as customer records or financial information, and stop it from leaving the organisation through uploads, email or apps.

Rule-based DLP looks for fixed patterns and keywords, which miss data that does not match and flag data that does. AI classification recognises sensitive data by its content and context, so it needs far less rule maintenance.

Inline on the Hermes edge at every site, and on endpoints through the 360 Guard agent, so the same policy applies in the office and on the road.

Yes. Traffic to SaaS and cloud storage is inspected on its way out, so uploads can be checked against policy before they leave.

Policy events are logged centrally in the Hermes Orchestrator, where your team can investigate them and adjust policy.
