Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for data security include a data access proxy coupled with a database, further coupled with a server configured to operate the data access proxy to: identify a user and request to access a data item; validate the user and request, including inspecting the user's identity, evaluating the user's history, and evaluating permissions and restrictions associated with the user and the data item; access the database to retrieve the data item; inspect security attributes related to the data item; and transform the data item based on one or more privacy rules, including redacting the at least one data item, deleting information from the at least one data item, substituting information from the at least one private data item with other information, adding information to the at least one data item, providing synthetic data as a private data item, or providing proxy data for the data item.

Abstract: Exemplary systems include an AI-powered assistant that automatically analyzes available data to create a contextual framework based on the nature of the query, the persona, and the permissions of the user, allowing it to provide relevant and personalized responses to user queries. The system can also generate contextual personas based on job descriptions within an organization, respond to specific tasks associated with roles, and integrate with network appliances and flow data to embed AI-generated insights into logging streams and ensure compliance with defined policies.
