Concentric AI has unveiled an AI-based DSPM functionality that monitors user activity risk and remediates user-centric data security issues in on-premises data repositories.

In a recent quote, Karthik Krishnan, Concentric AI Founder and CEO, said, “User feedback tells us organizations today need their DSPM solutions to go beyond discovery and classification of sensitive data to be able to identify and remediate risk from user activity.
