Automated message transmission prevention based on a physical reaction

摘要

Methods for preventing the transmission of sensitive information to locations outside of a secure network by a person who has legitimate access to the sensitive information are described. In some embodiments, in order for an end user of a computing device to establish a secure connection with a secure network and access data stored on the secure network, a client application running on the computing device may be required by the secure network. The client application may monitor visual cues (e.g., facial expressions and gestures) associated with the end user, detect suspicious activity performed by the end user based on the visual cues, and in response to detecting suspicious activity may perform mitigating actions to prevent the transmission of sensitive information such as alerting human resources personnel or requiring authorization prior to sending information to locations outside of the secure network.

主权项

1. A method for preventing transmission of sensitive information, comprising:
detecting that an end user of a computing device intends to transmit an electronic file to a second person; capturing images of the end user in response to detecting that the end user intends to transmit the electronic file; determining a data transmission delay; in response to detecting that the end user intends to transmit the electronic file to the second person, delaying a transmission of the electronic file to the second person by the data transmission delay in order to determine whether the end user had a negative reaction; determining that the end user had the negative reaction based on the captured images; and transmitting the electronic file to the second person in response to determining that a confirmation of file transmission from the end user is required based upon the negative reaction.
