AI and Data Pipeline Security

# Every file rebuilt before a pipeline or model reads it.

Data and AI pipelines ingest documents at volume, with no person in the loop. klearis rebuilds each file with Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) before a pipeline or model reads it.

![Three chambers in a row: a file goes in, breaks apart and comes out clean](https://klearis.com/hubfs/klearis/c-engine-chambers.webp)

The problem

## Pipelines ingest files at volume, and nobody opens them first.

VOLUMEDocuments enter pipelines in batches, from many sources.

PAYLOADActive content travels inside otherwise legitimate files.

A real example

## Bulk ingestion, nobody watching.

A team feeds thousands of supplier documents into a pipeline that extracts data for analytics and an internal assistant.

01Documents arrive in bulk from many outside sources.

02One file carries active content alongside the text.

03The pipeline processes it automatically, with no person looking.

WHAT HAPPENS TO IT

ANTIVIRUSLooks for known malware and passes active content it does not recognize.

SANDBOXDetonating every file at pipeline volume is slow and costly.

KLEARISEach document is rebuilt before ingestion. The pipeline receives the content, without the active parts.

How klearis addresses it

## Clean before it is processed.

Files are rebuilt before a pipeline or model ever reads them.

What changes

## Feed pipelines clean files.

Pipelines should read content, not code. Data and AI pipelines ingest files at volume and rarely have a person in the loop. klearis puts a rebuild step in front of ingestion.

DATA TEAMSPipelines keep their sources and their schedule.

SECURITYActive content is removed before any system reads the file.

FAQ

## Questions about AI and Data Pipeline Security

### How does klearis fit into a data pipeline?

Through the REST API or Server Agent batch sanitization, files are rebuilt before they are processed.

### Does sanitization change the content our pipeline needs?

No. The rebuilt file keeps its content and is visually and functionally identical to the original. Only active content such as macros and scripts is removed.

Next step

## Let's run it on your files.

Process real files, see what gets removed, and verify that document fidelity is preserved.
