Anthropic adds inference hooks to let enterprises block sensitive data before Claude sees it

Key Points

• Anthropic introduced inference hooks for Claude Enterprise, routing every prompt and tool response through a customer DLP server.
• The webhook protocol works with major DLP providers including Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, and Zscaler.
• All Claude surfaces—chat, Claude Code, Cowork, and plugin calls—are covered by a single organization‑level configuration.
• Shadow mode, role‑based exclusions, and percentage rollouts let companies monitor and phase enforcement safely.
• Beta version is available today for Claude Enterprise customers; general availability will follow after testing.
