Box Community Headlines
You can’t protect what you don’t understand — and that’s why classification is now the engine of the content protection lifecycle. With new capabilities in Box Shield Pro, classification doesn’t just label content, it drives automated security, Smart Access controls, and governance from the moment a file is created to the moment it’s retired.
Dive into how classification becomes the linchpin for frictionless, scalable protection across your entire organization:

The Levie Edge: Box, Business & Beyond
Your front-row seat to Aaron Levie’s latest insights, bold ideas, and game-changing updates.
In his conversation with Rana el Kaliouby, Ph.D. on Pioneers of AI, Aaron Levie, Box CEO shared how AI agents represent a TAM expansion.
Imagine spending just 5% of an engineer's salary on AI tools that double or triple their productivity. Companies will achieve more, faster, without reducing headcount.

Public sector investigations generate large volumes of mixed-format evidence: scanned reports, legacy documents, and multimedia — all of which can contain highly sensitive data. Manual triage slows investigations and raises compliance risk.
In this demo, watch how Box Shield Pro brings automation and context-aware intelligence to evidence handling. Box Shield Pro’s AI Classification Agent analyzes files holistically (not just keywords), detecting PII, CJIS, CUI, PHI and other sensitive content even inside images and partially redacted scans.
Imagine if every time you shared a document, an AI double-checked whether it contained your company’s most valuable secrets—not just obvious identifiers like Social Security numbers, but the subtle stuff, like whether a financial report is the public version or the one with unreleased numbers.
In this AI Explainer episode, Ben Kus, Box CTO and Meena Ganesh, Senior Product Marketing Manager for AI, break down the enterprise classification problem, why traditional approaches (and older DLP-style detection) miss what matters most, and how AI-powered classification adds a critical “second layer” beyond permissions—continuously re-checking files as they change.
Acknowledging Excellence!
