Content Aware Protection

This module allows the Administrator to set up and enforce strong content filtering policies for selected users, computers, groups, or departments and take control over the risks posed by accidental or intentional file transfers of sensitive company data, such as:

  • Personal Identifiable Information (PII): social security numbers (SSN), driving license numbers, email addresses, passport numbers, phone numbers, addresses, dates, etc.
  • Financial and credit card information: credit card numbers for Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover Card, Diners Club, bank account numbers, etc.
  • Confidential files: sales and marketing reports, technical documents, accounting documents, customer databases, etc.

CAUTION: Endpoint Protector cannot scan encrypted files or applications that use encryption to secure communication.

To prevent sensitive data leakage, Endpoint Protector closely monitors all activity at various exit points:

  • Transfers on portable storage and other media devices (USB Drives, external HDDs, CDs, DVDs, SD cards, etc.), either directly or through encryption software (e.g., Enforced Encryption)
  • Transfers on local networks (Network Share)
  • Transfers via the Internet (email Clients, File Sharing Application, Web Browsers, Instant Messaging, Social Media, etc.)
  • Transfers to the cloud (iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive, etc.)
  • Transfers through Copy & Paste / Cut & Paste
  • Print screens
  • Printers and others
