Hardware makers are shifting data loss prevention from centralized IT controls to AI running directly on employee devices—meaning a laptop can now block a risky paste or email attachment before it reaches corporate networks. This decentralization trades the control IT departments relied on for speed and user experience, but also creates new blind spots: if the device gets compromised, so does the security layer, and enterprises lose visibility into which protection rules actually fired. The question is whether employees will accept this always-watching local AI as a productivity tool or reject it as security theater.
