  • Patent number: 11936662
    Abstract: A data security system, including a security manager computer using network application programming interface (API) calls to services that perform data exchange transactions for end users of an enterprise, and to security layers that perform preventive actions on data exchange transactions that prevent incoming and/or outgoing data exchange transactions from reaching their respective destinations, the API calls remotely monitoring the security layers to identify preventive actions on data exchange transactions performed by the security layers, wherein the security layers are provided by respective different security applications, and a data reporter operative to provide to an administrator of the enterprise a unified report of data exchange transactions that are under preventive action by at least one of the security layers, and to provide a unified interface to an end user enabling the end user to request that a preventive action applied to a selected data exchange transaction be undone.

  • Patent number: 11736496
    Abstract: A data security system, including a security manager computer making network application programming interface (API) calls to a cloud-based service that performs data exchange transactions among end users, the API calls remotely controlling the cloud-based service so that the security manager computer accesses transactions that have entered the cloud-based service, whereby an end user may forward a transaction received through the cloud-based service to a central authority as being a potentially harmful or deceptive transaction, and a data inspector operative to analyze a transaction as being indeed harmful or deceptive, by applying machine learning, wherein the security manager computer controls the cloud-based service so as to transmit to the security manager transactions forwarded to the central authority, instead of or in addition to transmitting these transactions to the central authority, for analysis by the data inspector.

  • Patent number: 11647047
    Abstract: A data security system, including a security manager computer making network application programming interface (API) calls to a cloud-based service that (i) performs data exchange transactions for end users, and (ii) includes a mechanism for an end user to invoke in order to report a transaction received by the end user to a central authority as being a potentially harmful or deceptive transaction, the API calls remotely controlling the cloud-based service so that the security manager computer accesses transactions that have entered the cloud-based service, and a data inspector operative to analyze a transaction as being harmful or deceptive, by applying machine learning, wherein the security manager computer controls the cloud-based service so as to transmit transactions reported by the mechanism to the security manager, instead of or in addition to the central authority, for analysis by the data inspector.

  • Patent number: 10509917
    Abstract: A data security system, including a security manager computer making network API calls to a service that performs data-exchange transactions for end users, the API calls remotely controlling the service so that the security manager computer accesses an outgoing transaction that has already entered the cloud-based service, by generating one or more security platform rules that are applied by the service and cause the service to automatically transmit the outgoing transaction to an inspection location prior to transmission of the outgoing transaction to a destination, and a data inspector operative to inspect data of the outgoing transaction in the inspection location for data leakage, wherein the security manager computer further controls the service so as to transmit the outgoing transaction to the destinations when the data inspector clears the data, and to perform a remedial action regarding the outgoing transaction when the data inspector does not clear the data.

  • Patent number: 10498835
    Abstract: A system for shadow IT discovery, including a message monitor monitoring an enterprise messaging service that provides communication between users belonging to the enterprise and cloud services, and discovering a message relating to a specific cloud service, a message analyzer analyzing the message discovered by the message monitor to determine (i) the nature of the specific cloud service, and (ii) one or more enterprise users who use the specific cloud service, and a reporter reporting the results of the message analyzer to an administrator of the enterprise.

  • Patent number: 10372931
    Abstract: A data security system, including a security manager remotely controlling, via a network application programming interface, a cloud-based service that performs data-exchange transactions for end users, operative to cause the service to prevent end user access to incoming transactions so that the security manager accesses the incoming transactions prior to end users being able to access the incoming transactions, and a data inspector operative to inspect data of incoming transactions for security clearance by invoking one or more content scanners, wherein the security manager is further operative to cause the service to restore end user access to the incoming transactions, when the security inspector clears the data, and to cause the service to perform a remedial action vis-à-vis the incoming transactions, when the security inspector does not the data.
