Invisibly connected to your network perimeter (typically next to the firewall), the device continuously monitors all network traffic for the presence of unencrypted personal and confidential information. Detection of privacy policy violations takes place at wire speed with real time alerting and preventative blocking measures being triggered instantly at the time of detection. Details of the violation are reported and typically include source IP, the destination IP, the exact personal information identified and how it was being transferred.

Data-in-Motion technology solutions are effective in supplementing, enhancing and validating manual privacy efforts such as authored policies and procedures. Documented procedures cannot prevent an employee from accidentally or maliciously sending private information through e-mail or Instant Messaging. Manual procedures cannot prevent an employee from posting confidential customer information to a third party web site insecurely. Because employees are the weakest link in protecting confidential data; the use of data-in-motion monitoring can effectively and automatically prevent data loss.

Are my employees accessing only secured sites for business use? Are they removing PFI before responding to email? Are they sending documents and spreadsheets to third parties without securing the information first? By utilizing the Date-In-Motion solution from FiLink, you can audit your employees for policy adherence. These answers are found with the Data-In-Motion solution.
