Websense® Security LabsTM has received reports that the New York Department of State’s website had posted private information by releasing commercial loan documents containing Social Security numbers.
The protocol was HTTP, the type of data is N.P.I, and this is a GLBA regulated event.
Websense Content Protection Suite can prevent such leaks by blocking internal and external communications, such as emails and web posts, which include data that should be protected. Content Protection Suite also protects against leaks from outside the organization by using a reverse proxy mode. This mode prevents unauthorized access to web pages that contain this type of information.
By using the suite’s Content Auditor module for monitoring and discovering data at rest and data in use at the endpoint, an organization can identify and locate where confidential and private information is found, and if that data is being used inappropriately.
