Content Management
As experienced IT managers know, internal compliance with corporate security policies requires more than simply distributing a policy document and having it signed by employees and contract personnel. For years, users have been warned about not opening email attachments from unknown sources yet it still happens…frequently.
Successfully achieving internal security compliance requires education, monitoring, and controls. This is particularly true of security policies regarding email messages and file transfers. With regulatory pressures increasing at both federal and state levels, and customers and business partners becoming less forgiving about unintentional slipups or intentional employee fraud, businesses must employ methods for ensuring that corporate security policies are adhered to.
Content management technology identifies confidential data and watches for security policy violations via different communications channels. Email content management is performed by Tumbleweed’s Secure Messenger product which monitors corporate outbound emails for policy violations in emails and attachments. Based on security policy, Secure Messenger will (a) encrypt and send outbound emails so the data is protected or (b) quarantine the message – it can be sent or blocked – and notify the appropriate personnel of the violation.
Content management for a broad range of possible communications channels, including corporate internal and external email, web-based email, FTP, Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer, and other methods, is handled by the Websense Content Protection Suite, the leading Information Leak Prevention (ILP) solution designed to protect confidential data and intellectual property, and enforce and report on regulatory compliance.
