Abstract: A system and method that regulates the various operations between computing stations and storage devices. Storage devices are the storage means that are contained upon devices that are able to have data stored upon them. Any operation that involves or may lead to the exchange or accessing of content (data) between a storage device and computing station may be regulated by means of a policy which comprise a set of rules. Rules may be defined according to specific criteria, including the type of storage device, the type of content, the attributes of the content, and other attributes associated with the storage device and/or the content. The policy will be dynamically installed upon a computing station for specific user(s) and will regulate the data operations that may take place between the computing stations and storage devices based on evaluation of the policy. Based on the evaluation of the policy, the requested operation is permitted, restricted in some areas, or denied.

Abstract: A system and method that regulates the various operations between computing stations and storage or content. Any operation that involves or may lead to the exchange or accessing of content (data) between storage or hosting content container and computing station may be regulated by means of a policy which comprise a set of rules. Rules may be defined according to specific criteria, including the type of storage, the type of content, the attributes of the content, and other attributes associated with the storage device and/or the content. The policy will be dynamically installed/updated upon a computing station for specific User(s) and will regulate the data operations that may take place between the computing stations and storage or content based on evaluation of the policy. Based on the evaluation of the policy, the requested operation is permitted, restricted in some areas, or denied.
