What Teleskope Understand is

Teleskope Understand is a sensitive-data classification product for security teams. It uses machine learning, large language models, and small language models to identify PII, payment-card data, health information, secrets, tokens, and business-specific sensitive data. Rather than treating each finding in isolation, it can consider document context, access permissions, an organization’s business profile, and risk appetite. Its Prism document intelligence classifies whole documents and can find documents resembling known sensitive examples without predefined rules. Understand also maps human and non-human identities to the sensitive information they can access and ranks them by risk. Its event-driven approach identifies new data and reclassifies modified data in real time, and Teleskope says it scans every file rather than sampling. Coverage includes databases, warehouses, cloud storage, SaaS, repositories, logs, APIs, and collaboration tools. Deployment choices include air-gapped, single-tenant SaaS, and Teleskope-managed options. The API can support custom integrations. Pricing is on request.
