Interface for Content Inspection
Safend, in partnership with Websense, has combined the best-of-breed approaches from both companies to offer the add-on Interface for Content Inspection, a comprehensive, content-aware network and endpoint ILP solution.
The Content Inspection feature:
- Offers the capability to leverage existing content monitoring and filtering solutions that enable ultra-granular data leakage prevention on endpoints.
- Provides yet another layer of security to the existing protection, so that capabilities extend beyond approving devices and files to monitoring the actual content of each file.
How it Works
Each file that is downloaded from an endpoint to an external storage device can be inspected to determine whether it contains sensitive information of any kind (e.g. intellectual property, consumer data etc.).
Once it is determined that the file contains sensitive information, the user is notified that this file should not be transferred to external devices, and a trace log is created for the administrator. With this log, the administrator is provided a fine-grained list of data breaches through external storage devices.
