The email data loss prevention platform

Sublime prevents email-based data loss using a combination of machine learning techniques and behavioral detection.

Policy enforcement

Automatically enforce data protection policies by blocking or alerting on messages that violate organizational data handling policies and compliance requirements.

Contextual analysis

Natural Language Understanding techniques evaluate intent to detect potential data leaks and can be combined with string matches and regex for more precise control.

Deep file inspection

Recursive file analysis inspects embedded files and AI techniques like Optical Character Recognition and computer vision detect sensitive and company-branded content within images and other document types.

Automated response

Customize automated workflows based on detections and verdicts.

What our customers are saying

The black box approach to email security no longer works. 
It reduces visibility on how 
Brex may be attacked and 
the tactics and techniques 
used by attackers. 



With Sublime, we now have transparency and the confidence to keep up with emerging threats.
