  • Security systems and methods to reduce data leaks in enterprise networks
    Patent number: 8893300
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a security system for reducing data leaks by checking information flows between resources of a network. When an information flow is attempted between a sending resource, which can be anywhere in the network, and a receiving resource residing at a specific host within the network, a host labeler can determine whether information is allowed to flow from the sending resource to the receiving resource. The sending resource and the receiving resource can each have an applicable label, and each label can comprise zero, one, or more taints. For each taint having an active secrecy characteristic in a label of the sending resource, the host labeler can require that there be a matching taint with active secrecy characteristic in the receiving resource. If this condition is not met, the security system can block the information flow between the sending and receiving resources.
