Configuring content awareness
GFI EndPointSecurity enables you to specify the file content restrictions for a particular protection policy. The content awareness feature looks into files transiting the endpoints via removable devices and it \identifies content based on pre-configured and custom regular expressions and dictionary files. By default the module looks for secure confidential details such as social security numbers and primary account numbers as well as information related to companies and enterprises such as names of diseases, drugs, dangerous chemicals and also trivial language or ethnic / racist terms.
- You can configure content checking as a global policy in a similar fashion to the file checking module.
