Egnyte, a leading provider of cloud-based content collaboration and governance solutions, is announcing a series of new patents and product features—as well as a new generative AI (GenAI)-powered assistant—for securing and easing the management of mission-critical data. These innovations reflect Egnyte’s dedication toward solving the world’s most critical data challenges, especially as it relates to complex data governance and compliance, the company said.
In 2024, Egnyte secured a variety of new patents, bringing its total to more than 50 granted patents that “support our competitive edge in this market. All of these patents address complex data governance and compliance challenges, ranging from hybrid collaboration and content analysis to privacy compliance and data privacy regulations,” explained Amrit Jassal, CTO and founder of Egnyte.
Some of Egnyte’s latest patents include:
- Enhanced content collaboration with improved conflict detection and resolution in hybrid cloud environments
- Centralized user access control across hybrid cloud systems
- Simplified and consolidated permissions management from multiple storage systems
- Streamlined subject access requests (SARs) handling that enhances compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR
Another exciting development is the launch of the Egnyte Copilot, a GenAI-powered assistant that increases the productivity of knowledge work while extracting more value from enterprise content. Egnyte Copilot summarizes documents to more easily surface crucial information; organizes information across thousands of files in knowledgebases; transcribes multimedia such as audio and video content; and guides AI responses with context-specific instructions.
“As organizations continue to digitize vast amounts of data, it becomes an impossible task for a human to manage, analyze, and extract insights from the information effectively,” said Jassal. “Egnyte Copilot enables users to accelerate knowledge work by efficiently summarizing documents and extracting insights from multimedia content and unlocking the value of the organization’s data by organizing and querying information across extensive file systems, helping teams make informed decisions quickly.”
Egnyte Copilot seamlessly integrates with existing workflows without requiring new tools or specialized skills. This reflects one of Egnyte’s core principles, where its goal is to “deliver useful solutions. A large majority of current generative AI use cases fall into the ‘novelty’ category…with our solutions, enterprises can leverage the power of AI without the disruption often associated with implementing new technologies,” explained Jassal.
Outside of Egnyte’s most recent patents and Egnyte Copilot, the company also launched over 300 new product features designed to enhance user productivity, streamline workflows, and strengthen data security. Some of these features include dynamic watermarking for content security, an integrated eSignature solution for legally binding electronic signatures, automated metadata tagging, and more. Egnyte also released several AI-powered capabilities, including image comparison, image similarity search, and content classification based on user-defined criteria.
Ultimately, this release demonstrates “how rapidly the world of technology is evolving, and how Egnyte continues to meet the market's demands…looking ahead, everything we built in 2024 provides a strong foundation for continuing to innovate in 2025 and continuing to develop our platform to meet the needs of the market,” Jassal concluded.
