Embracing a Foundational Data Security & Privacy Layer

Enterprise systems today ingest, process, and expose more sensitive data than ever before, driven by the rapid adoption of LLMs, AI agents, data-intensive applications, and increasingly distributed architectures.

The surface area for risk has grown disproportionately, with each interaction introducing a potential vulnerability. Traditional perimeter-based security models and downstream privacy controls are no longer sufficient. Breach risks are amplified not just by attackers, but by system complexity and integration sprawl.

This paper explores the shift-left practice, addressing security challenges by embedding privacy controls directly into data infrastructure.
