Abstract: An apparatus collects data from a data network for the purpose of detection and interception of security incidents therein. The apparatus identifies at least one event in the data network. The apparatus then inspects the event to identify its properties and metadata associated therewith. Based on the inspection, the apparatus identifies at least a type of the event, an operation and a resource associated with the event, and a device associated with the event. The metadata is the matched to a unified index stored in a database communicatively coupled to the apparatus via a network. Based on the match the apparatus determines whether the event is potentially a security incident. In case a determination of a potential security incident is made, the apparatus queries a set of set of policy rules to determine a type of action required respective of the metadata. The apparatus then performs the required action.

Abstract: A method and a system for information management and control is presented, based on modular and abstract description of the information. Identifiers are used to identify features of interest in the information and information use policies are assigned directly or indirectly on the basis of the identifiers, allowing for flexible and efficient policy management and enforcement, in that a policy can be defined with a direct relationship to the actual information content of digital data items. The information content can be of various kinds: e.g., textual documents, numerical spreadsheets, audio and video files, pictures and images, drawings etc. The system can provide protection against information policy breaches such as information misuse, unauthorized distribution and leakage, and for information tracking.
