  • DATA LEAK PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20140304827
    Abstract: Methods and systems for Data Leak Prevention (DLP) in an enterprise network are provided. According to one embodiment a data leak protection method is provided. Information regarding a watermark filtering rule is received by a network device. The information includes a sensitivity level and an action to be applied to files observed by the network device that match the watermark filtering rule. A file attempted to be passed through the network device is received by the network device. A watermark embedded within the received file is detected by the network device. A sensitivity level associated with the watermark is compared by the network device to the sensitivity level of the watermark filtering rule after the watermark is detected. If the comparison results in a match, then the action specified by the watermark filtering rule is performed by the network device.

  • DATA LEAK PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20140007246
    Abstract: Methods and systems for Data Leak Prevention (DLP) in an enterprise network are provided. According to one embodiment a data leak protection method is provided. A network device receives information regarding a watermark filtering rule, including a sensitivity level and an action to be applied to files observed by the network device matching the watermark filtering rule. The network device scans a file attempted to be passed through the network device by locating a watermark embedded within the file and comparing a sensitivity level associated with the watermark to the sensitivity level of the watermark filtering rule. If the sensitivity levels match, then the network device performs the action specified by the watermark filtering rule.

  • Systems and methods for facilitating secure remote access to sensitive data from an embedded device
    Patent number: 7739493
    Abstract: A system for facilitating secure remote access to sensitive data is provided. The system includes a plurality of electronic devices. These electronic devices are under the control of an organization. The system also includes a data router. When the data router obtains sensitive data that is to be made available to remote clients, the data router secures the sensitive data and transmits the secured sensitive data over a first communication channel to an organization-controlled server. When the data router obtains other data that is to be made available to remote clients, the data router transmits the other data over the second communication channel to a third-party server.
