Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090055889System and method for detecting and mitigating the writing of sensitive data to memory - Disclosed is a system and method for detecting and mitigating the writing of sensitive or prohibited information to memory or communication media. The method includes detecting if an application is to write data to a memory, rerouting the writing of that data, and scanning the data for sensitive content or prohibited information. The scanning is done in accordance with one or more information security policies. If sensitive information is detected, the system has the option of issuing an alarm and/or preventing the sensitive information from being written, depending on the security policy. If the system permits the sensitive information to be written to memory, the system may spawn a file watcher object, which waits for a specified amount of time and then checks to see if the sensitive information has been deleted. If not, the system may issue an alarm or erase the sensitive information, depending on the security policy.02-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090254750SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE WORKGROUP MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser may split or share a data set into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting an original data set into portions of data that may be communicated using one or more communications paths. Secure workgroup communication is supported through the secure distribution and management of a workgroup key for use with the secure data parser.10-08-2009
