What it is
Teleskope Understand classifies sensitive information across an organisation’s data environment for security teams. It uses machine learning, large language models, and small language models to identify PII, payment-card data, health information, secrets, tokens, and business-specific sensitive data types. Classification can account for document context, who can access data, the business profile, and risk appetite. Prism classifies documents as a whole and can find documents similar to known sensitive examples without predefined rules. Understand also identifies human, external, personal, and service identities with access to sensitive information and ranks them by risk. Its event-driven architecture classifies new data as it appears and reclassifies changed data in real time; Teleskope says it scans every file rather than sampling. Coverage includes databases and warehouses, cloud storage and SaaS files, code repositories, logs, APIs, and collaboration tools. Listed connectors include Slack, Snowflake, SharePoint and OneDrive, OpenAI, Google Drive, GitHub, Databricks, Box, and AWS services. Deployment options include air-gapped, single-tenant SaaS, and Teleskope-managed arrangements. The company says air-gapped deployments run within customer infrastructure without outbound data transfer. Pricing is on request.
