This is because understanding and managing data exposure is fundamental to ensuring AI protection. By deploying DSPM first, you gain visibility into your data security posture, which is essential for the effective deployment and functioning of AI-SPM. #### **Integrated Security Approach** By integrating DSPM and AI-SPM, Prisma Cloud offers a unified approach to security. This integration helps in identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities across both data and AI systems, enabling a more robust and holistic security posture. To ensure a smooth onboarding process, please refer to the detailed steps for onboarding DSPM. When you onboard DSPM, AI-SPM is also automatically onboarded and starts running by default. If you want to disable AI-SPM, disable scanning for your AI services in the ‘[Scanning Settings](https://docs.prismacloud.io/en/enterprise-edition/content-collections/data-security-posture-management/how-to-articles/configure-the-scanning-settings-for-supported-services)’ section of the projects page. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/content-collections/ai-security-posture-management/onboardingaispm.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
