  • Publication number: 20250053684
    Abstract: A system is provided for detection and mitigation of unauthorized reproduction of sensitive electronic data. In particular, the system may comprise a networked environment with various computing devices that may be used to store, process, and/or transfer sensitive electronic data. When a user accesses the sensitive data, the contents of the data may be presented as a series of micro dots or pixels. The system may be configured to display rapidly change at least a portion of the micro dots or pixels at a high frequency, such that a snapshot of the sensitive data taken at a singular point in time will not be able to capture all of the data needed to make the data readable to the user. In this way, the system may be able to prevent the unauthorized reproduction of sensitive data within the network environment.

  • Publication number: 20250047708
    Abstract: A computing platform may train, using historical information access pattern information, a machine learning model to identify unauthorized information access patterns. The computing platform may obscure internal traffic pattern information, and monitor access of the obscured internal traffic pattern information. The computing platform may generate, by inputting information of the access into the machine learning model, a user evaluation output, and may compare the user evaluation output to a first user evaluation threshold. Based on identifying that the user evaluation output meets or exceeds the first user evaluation threshold, the computing platform may modify traffic routing rules corresponding to the user, which may cause activity by the user to be routed to a secure sandbox for further analysis.
