Extrusion Prevention™: Controlling Valuable Information Outflow

Extrusion Prevention™ is the process of monitoring and preventing valuable information outflow. Instead of using only indirect methods to guard important data (basic network security practices such as hacker defense, software patches and user authentication, as well as physical security), the new DataSafe EPS™ the first Extrusion Prevention System™ continually monitors the flow of data.

For organizations that store valuable information on their computer network and are seeking a means to prevent its unauthorized outflow, DataSafe EPS™ is an extrusion prevention system that detects and stops the unauthorized movement of valuable data.

Unlike other systems employing data detection technologies such as keyword scanning or digital fingerprinting that look for exact data matches, DataSafe EPS™ using Multi-Dimensional Content Profiling™ can catch the extrusion of valuable data that has been modified from its original form or document type. The new system, created by Fidelis Security Systems, Inc., can safeguard credit card numbers, names and other data whose loss could be disastrous.
