  • Patent number: 9160711
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for implementing a cleansing farm are presented. A cleansing farm may comprise of a computing device that filters customer requests directed to an organization before they are routed internal to the organization. A cleansing farm may receive customer requests and filter the requests based on a set of filtering rules. The cleansing farm may inspect the customer request in order to determine whether it should be filtered. In an example where the organization is a financial institution, the customer request may include confidential customer information. Accordingly, in this example, the cleansing farm may be administered by an entity that is permitted to access the confidential customer information. A visualization tool may be used to visualize a plurality of customer requests at a cleansing farm and to generate rules for filtering customer requests at a cleansing farm.
