Today’s businesses are moving fast—AI adoption is skyrocketing, and SaaS apps are multiplying across teams. But with that growth comes a serious challenge: securing a tech stack that’s evolving faster than traditional security solutions can handle.
The perfect storm: AI adoption meets SaaS consolidation
As organizations embrace AI to drive innovation and efficiency, they’re simultaneously working to consolidate their SaaS ecosystems. This consolidation isn’t just about cost-cutting—it’s about creating streamlined workflows and reducing security vulnerabilities.
However, there’s a paradox at play: AI drives more data sharing across platforms, while SaaS consolidation is all about centralizing and controlling that same data.
What we’re seeing is a fundamental shift in how data moves within organizations. AI systems require access to vast datasets to deliver value—inherently creating new avenues for potential data exposure. Meanwhile, as companies consolidate their SaaS footprint, they need visibility into how sensitive information flows between remaining systems.
The critical gap in data protection
If you think data loss prevention (DLP) is enough to solve this problem. You need to think again. Traditional DLP solutions were built for a pre-AI world.
They focus on file movement rather than the actual information contained within those files. They generate excessive alerts requiring manual review. They lack the contextual awareness needed to understand how AI systems interact with sensitive data.
Instead of trying to retrofit DLP solutions to fit the new world of work, organizations need to look forward. Enter data security posture management (DSPM).
DSPM: The key to secure AI adoption during SaaS consolidation
DSPM provides the comprehensive visibility and automated protection needed to safely navigate both AI adoption and SaaS consolidation.
Unlike traditional security approaches like DLP, DSPM focuses on understanding data in context—identifying what’s sensitive, how it’s being used, and where potential exposures might occur.
To put things in context, here’s how Polymer’s DSPM solution secures both AI and SaaS:
- Retrospective data discovery: Auditing historical data to uncover pre-existing risks before AI implementation
- Real-time monitoring: Providing real-time monitoring of data flows between consolidated SaaS platforms
- Automatic remediation: Automatically remediating potential exposures without creating additional work
- Contextual policies: Adapting security policies to evolving data environments and AI usage patterns
- High-fidelity: Reducing false alerts through contextual understanding of legitimate AI data needs
Moving forward securely
As your organization balances AI adoption with SaaS consolidation, the question isn’t whether you’ll face data security challenges—it’s how effectively you’ll address them. With Polymer’s DSPM solution, you gain the visibility, control, and automated protection needed to confidently leverage AI while optimizing your SaaS ecosystem.
The age of AI demands a new approach to data security. Polymer delivers it, ensuring your sensitive information remains protected even as you embrace the new world of work.
