Systems and methods for protection of security and privacy through contextual data discovery

A computing system to protect data privacy and security in a network, the computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory memory containing computer-executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to:
• receive an indication of transmission of a network packet by a node on the network;
• extract a data payload contained in the network packet as text;
• contextualize the extracted text using a large language model to determine if the data payload poses a data privacy and security risk;
• and
• in response to determining that the data payload poses a data privacy and security risk, performing a data security procedure, the data security procedure including:
• redact sensitive data from the data payload,
• identify the node that transmitted the network packet;
• and
• block the node from transmitting further packets.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive an indication of transmission of a network packet by a node on a network;
• extract a data payload contained in the network packet as text;
• contextualize the extracted text using a large language model to determine if the data payload poses a data privacy and security risk;
• and
• in response to determining that the data payload poses a data privacy and security risk, performing a data security procedure, the data security procedure including:
• redact sensitive data from the data payload,
• identify the node on the network that transmitted the network packet;
• and
• block the node from transmitting further packets.
