InfoWatch’s Traffic Monitor Enterprise provides comprehensive protection against information leakage and data breaches. It acts as an endpoint sentry – enforcing policy at the PC level, and preventing confidential or personal data from being leaked or stolen by printing hard copies, or writing it to a USB storage device or other removable media along with an intuitive network gatekeeper – monitoring outbound traffic to ensure sensitive data is not leaked or exposed via email, webmail, social networking, instant messaging, or other online channels.
Several analysis technologies, combining in-house developed linguistic analysis, digital fingerprinting as well as template analyzers provide high intellectual property detection reliability to filter outbound traffic and detect confidential data with unmatched precision. The intercepted and analyzed traffic data is stored in a centralized archive – Forensic Storage – providing an opportunity for retrospective or forensic analysis.
