The present invention relates to the automatic detection of sensitive digital information, and the identification methods, application and enforcement of information security policies for digital information controlled through a software permission wrapper throughout the useful life of the information. This invention includes a unique taxonomy that defines the policies and rules regarding how the information is controlled automatically throughout its useful lifecycle based on the type of information, the stage of the information lifecycle, the user / group role accessing the information, the locality of the information, and the expected threats to the information. The taxonomy is maintained in a database that associates information security control policies and actions to sensitive data. These policies are enforced through a software permission wrapper that is used to encapsulate sensitive digital information. The software permission wrapper is used to control access and enforce digital rights to the information based on the taxonomy based policies for that information. The permission wrapper can automatically change the protection of the information based on pre-defined protection states that can automatically enforce discretionary access control rights to the sensitive information controlled in the permission wrapper. The changes to the level of protection occur dynamically based on changes in user locality, stage of information lifecycle, and user / group role and the detection of threats. In addition, there is provided an internal audit capability describing what actions the user has performed, where the data is located, with whom and how the data has been shared.

A method and apparatus for creating a policy based on a pre-configured template is described. In one embodiment, source data having a tabular structure is identified.

Systems and methods for securing or encrypting data or other information arising from a user's interaction with software and / or hardware, resulting in transformation of original data into ciphertext. Generally, the ciphertext is generated using context-based keys that depend on the environment in which the original data originated and / or was accessed. The ciphertext can be stored in a user's storage device or in an enterprise database (e.g., at-rest encryption) or shared with other users (e.g., cryptographic communication). The system generally allows for secure federation across organizations, including mechanisms to ensure that the system itself and any other actor with pervasive access to the network cannot compromise the confidentially of the protected data.

A method, apparatus and computer program product for policy-based access control in association with a sorted, distributed key-value data store in which keys comprise a cell-level access control. In this approach, an information security policy is used to create a set of pluggable policies. A pluggable policy may be used during data ingest time, when data is being ingested into the data store, and a pluggable policy may be used during query time, when a query to the data store is received for processing against data stored therein. Generally, a pluggable policy associates one or more user-centric attributes (or some function thereof), to a particular set of data-centric attributes. By using pluggable policies, preferably at both ingest time and query time, the data store is enhanced to provide a seamless and secure policy-based access control mechanism in association with the cell-level access control enabled by the data store.

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.
