secure intelligent content

The secure intelligent content platform built for the AI era

 

Every AI agent, every model, and every workflow starts with content. As AI becomes the operating layer of the enterprise, the place where your files live becomes the most important security decision you make. Box is built from the ground up as the content foundation for AI, where every file is classified, every action is governed, and every interaction is audited. Whether your teams or your AI agents are working on your most sensitive data, Box ensures that intelligence never comes at the cost of security. The world's most regulated industries trust Box not just as a place to store content, but as the platform where AI works safely.

zero trust

Zero-trust security controls

Our zero-trust architecture approach ensures teams can collaborate safely with strong user authentication with SSO and MFA support, device security, and information rights management with vector-based watermarking. You also get seven user-friendly permissioning roles, device trust, and application controls. Box is FIPS 140-2 certified, and even better, every file is encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit. With Box Keysafe, you maintain complete, independent control of your encryption keys.
