Enterprise Search and Data Security: The Need for AI-Powered Solutions

The Challenge of Data Management

All organizations, regardless of size or industry, are currently experiencing a data boom, with information being stored in multiple applications such as Confluence, GitLab, JIRA, Monday, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, and more. However, being able to search through the vast amounts of data to find what they need is increasingly becoming more difficult. This is where enterprise search comes in, an area where AI can shine, with tools that can take questions from users and look through various information sources to provide relevant answers quickly.

The Security Concerns

The challenge, however, is delivering those answers without compromising the data security. AI being able to look at all the organization’s data means that an unauthorized actor can potentially manipulate the system to obtain information they should not be able to access or use it in a manner they should not. This is a significant concern, as it can lead to data breaches and other security risks.

Introducing Doti AI: A Secure Enterprise Search Platform

Doti AI, an AI-powered enterprise work platform, has emerged from stealth to address this challenge. The platform promises to secure the organization’s data while giving employees the ability to find information as part of existing workflows. For example, customer support teams can resolve issues faster by retrieving relevant knowledge base articles or identifying similar past cases without searching across multiple systems.

How Doti AI Works

The platform consolidates data from multiple business applications and sources and presents a single interface to the organization’s data. Because it can handle both structured and unstructured data, users can use the platform to analyze codebases, draft communications, retrieve historical project context, and answer policy questions. Doti AI can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud, and allows the organization to retain control over the data by setting permissions and access controls.

Security Features

The platform has both direct and indirect prompt injection guardrails to prevent leakage of unauthorized information. This means that even if someone compromises the organization, that actor will have only limited access to a limited subset of all the data the platform can see. This ensures that the organization’s data remains secure and protected.

Industry Recognition

"Doti is tackling a fundamental challenge that many enterprises face but no one has really managed to solve: securely accessing and utilizing internal knowledge," said Jonathan Saacks, Managing Partner at F2 Venture Capital. This recognition highlights the importance of Doti AI’s solution in addressing the need for secure enterprise search.

Funding and Founding

As part of the launch, Doti AI also raised $7 million in seed funding led by F2 Venture Capital and several angel investors. Doti AI was founded in January 2024 by Matan Cohen and Opher Hofshi, who have experience in enterprise software and cybersecurity. They saw firsthand the impact of "organizational information chaos" in large, fast-paced organizations and are committed to solving this problem with their innovative solution.
