Data Loss Prevention is a broken promise. Were here to fix it. For too long, security teams have been trapped in a cycle of failure. Legacy DLP systems, built on rigid rules and broken formulas, have created a storm of noise and alert fatigue. They bury teams in false positives while real threats get missed. This isnt just ineffective; its exhausting. Jazz is DLP, Remastered. We didnt just add another layer to the problem; we rebuilt the solution from first principles. We replaced outdated rules with an AI-powered Agentic Investigator that understands the one thing that matters: context. Our platform automatically investigates data movement to understand the "why" behind every action, providing clear, actionable answers instead of more alerts. Its the difference between noise and signal. Were giving security teams their time, their sanity, and their effectiveness back. Welcome to the new era of DLP.

It delivers User Adaptive Testing, Training, and Security to reduce administrative burden and mitigate risk.

Dune leverages the industrys most comprehensive risk scoring system to holistically assess individual risk, enabling automated, targeted remediation for high-risk users while allowing low-risk users to stay productive. This data-driven approach enhances security efficacy, streamlines operations, and strengthens overall organizational resilience.
