An organization wants to limit external sharing of restricted data by employees through email, chat, or cloud storage. Management desires an automated mechanism that identifies protected content and enforces usage policies. Which measure best satisfies this requirement?
Place restricted files on a secure server accessible through the local network
Set up a specialized system that analyzes transmissions for specified patterns and stops unapproved disclosures
Require monthly password resets for user accounts
Encrypt data leaving the network to external channels without scanning content
A system that monitors transmissions for predefined content patterns and intercepts disallowed transfers directly addresses unwanted disclosure. Requiring monthly password resets (option 2) focuses on authentication instead of preventing external leaks. Encrypting outbound data (option 3) protects confidentiality but does not prevent distribution to unauthorized destinations. Storing data on a secure internal server (option 4) limits local file access but does not stop sensitive information from being sent outside the network.
