AI Mesh

The AI Mesh view visualizes how detection engines work together to determine a file or dataset’s classification. Nodes represent detection components (Detectors, DLP Policy Groups, Classifiers, etc.), and links show how their results combine to produce the final label (e.g., Highly-Confidential, Confidential, General Business, Public), helping you understand and validate the classification logic.

Starting with platform version 3.3.x, the Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) AI Mesh for unstructured data has been redesigned to simplify setup, improve clarity, and reduce unnecessary detections. This updated mesh applies to mesh versions 3.20.0 and later. You can verify your current mesh version here.

Key Enhancements

  • English-Only Detectors: The Quick Start Guide now imports only globally supported English detectors, offering a cleaner and more consistent default configuration.
  • Reduced Default Sensitivity: Default sensitivity levels have been lowered to help minimize false positives and unnecessary detections.
  • Expanded DLP Policy Coverage: The updated mesh supports a broader range of DLP policies, enabling wider protection scenarios. Refer to DLP Policies section.

AI Mesh Page Improvements

The AI Mesh interface has been redesigned to improve usability and visibility across the workspace:
  • DLP policies are now displayed directly in the mesh.
  • Summarisers are separated into two node types:
    • Summarisers
    • Tags
  • Fewer nodes appear by default for a cleaner, easier-to-navigate view.
  • Node descriptions clarify the purpose and behaviour of each node.
  • Detector types (e.g., hard vs. soft) are now clearly identifiable from node names.
  • Focused node view shows only the selected node and its connections.
  • Tooltips provide quick explanations of node types.
  • A new toggle at the top of the page allows users to switch between unstructured and structured mesh views.

Need Support for More Languages?

If your environment requires additional languages (for example, Arabic and English):
  • Contact Forcepoint Professional Services (PS).
  • The appropriate mesh supporting your requirements will be applied to your environment.
  • The related detectors will then be imported using the Quick Start Guide.
    Note: Language coverage can not be changed directly through the UI.
