Unstructured Data is Slowing Your AI Adoption

Unstructured data (like emails, PDFs, and multimedia) makes up to 90% of an organization's data and is growing by 60% every year.  

As many organizations rush to adopt Generative AI, IT and Security leaders discover that they can’t provide manual governance of unstructured data to keep pace. 

Fortunately, there is a solution. In our opinion, we believe the Gartner® Strategic Roadmap: Governing Unstructured Data for AI Readiness report shows you how to unlock the value of unstructured data without compromising security.

Download the report to learn how to:

  1. Protect your unstructured data: lower risks and drive value for AI and analytics.

  2. Make your data AI-ready: Move from passive file storage to data observability and context.

  3. Use a 5-step governance framework: discover, analyze, classify, connect, and protect data based on its actual business value.

  4. Mitigate AI-driven security risks: Prevent unauthorized data exposure and ensure compliance before you feed data into Large Language Models (LLMs).
