Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to a cyber security system that may enable an end user to communicate with a cyber security appliance to identify cyber threats across the client system. The system can include one or more host devices each having a user interface and an endpoint agent for facilitating bi-directional communication between the user and a cyber security appliance. The endpoint agent may include a communication facilitation module including a user interaction module configured to communicate with the user interface and a helper module configured to communicate with the cyber security appliance. The endpoint agent is configured to enable the bi-directional communication between the user interface and the cyber security appliance on receiving a query associated with identified unusual behavior.

Abstract: Implemented within a cyber security appliance, a non-transitory storage medium configured to store software that, when executed, conducts data loss prevention evaluation of an email message to protect against exfiltration of sensitive data from an enterprise. The software includes an email protection module and high availability (HA) fail-open control logic. The email protection module includes email threat detection logic to analyze content associated with an outbound or lateral email message for potential data loss characteristics. The HA fail-open control logic is configured to (i) detect operational failure of the email protection module or intake disruption of email messages via an Application Programming Interface (API) providing access to the email protection module and (ii) redirect the email messages to HA cloud infrastructure pertaining to the enterprise for temporary storage and subsequent release of the redirected email messages upon detecting the operational failure or the intake disruption.
