4 min readAustin, Texas — 02/26/2026 — Lepide today announced the launch of Lepide AI, a major evolution of the Lepide Data Security Platform that redefines how organisations understand and act on identity and data risk.
While enterprise environments continue to generate vast amounts of audit and security data, many organisations still struggle with the same fundamental challenges:
- Limited visibility into Active Directory and data access
- Slow investigations
- An inability to confidently prioritise what actually matters.
Lepide AI addresses this head-on by shifting security operations from raw data and dashboards to clear, actionable decisions.
“The problem hasn’t changed — Active Directory is still at risk, permissions are still sprawling, and security teams are still overwhelmed with data,” said Philip Robinson, Chief Marketing Officer at Lepide. “What Lepide AI does is make that visibility usable at scale. It turns complex audit data into answers security teams can trust and act on.”
From Data to Decisions
Lepide AI introduces an intuitive, AI-powered experience that enables security teams to interact with their existing audit and security data using natural language. Instead of manually searching through reports, logs, and alerts, users can ask direct questions and receive clear, human-readable insights that explain what happened, why it matters, and what to do next.
Key capabilities include:
- AI-powered audit insights through natural language search
- Faster investigation and reporting, reducing time to resolution
- Interactive reporting that explains changes and anomalies in context
- Guidance on configuration and best-practice improvements
- Context-rich alerts that prioritise risk rather than noise
By focusing on explainability and operational relevance, Lepide AI helps security teams move beyond passive monitoring to confident, defensible decision-making.
Making Visibility Work at Enterprise Scale
Lepide AI is designed for the real-world complexity of hybrid and on-premises environments, where Active Directory and unstructured data remain foundational to business operations.
With intelligent notifications and reporting, organisations can:
- Reduce alert fatigue by filtering out low-value noise
- Instantly access the full history behind changes and access events
- Fine-tune alerting for greater accuracy
- Review historical actions and alerts for audit and compliance purposes
The result is improved response times, clearer accountability, and stronger control over identity and data risk — without adding operational burden.
Supporting Secure AI Adoption, Including Microsoft Copilot
Alongside Lepide AI, the latest release also introduces enhanced capabilities to help organisations manage the risks associated with Microsoft Copilot adoption.
As Copilot increases the speed and scale at which users can access data, organisations need clear visibility into how AI tools are being used and what data they are touching. Lepide’s Copilot security features provide that visibility, helping teams implement Copilot securely and responsibly.
New capabilities include:
- A dedicated Copilot dashboard focused on operational clarity
- Out-of-the-box alerting for high-risk Copilot activity, with support for custom keywords
- Usage comparison reporting to track adoption and trends over time
- Conversation visibility, providing insight into how sensitive data is accessed via Copilot
These features enable organisations to embrace AI-driven productivity while maintaining strong governance and control over sensitive data.
Strengthening the Foundations of Directory Security
The release also introduces Group Policy Comparison, enabling rapid comparison of Group Policy Objects across multiple domains to identify configuration differences, improve consistency, and reduce misconfiguration-related risk.
In addition, over 100 bug fixes and enhancements have been delivered across the Lepide Data Security Platform, improving performance, accuracy, and scalability.
Leading with Clarity in a Noisy Market
With Lepide AI, Lepide is setting a new standard for directory and data security — one that prioritises clarity, explainability, and action over dashboards and data overload.
“Security teams don’t need more information,” added Philip Robinson. “They need confidence in their decisions. Lepide AI delivers that by making visibility meaningful and actionable — even as environments grow more complex.”
