NextSentry recently announced a product to detect if employees are stealing private data or intellectual property and what is most interesting about it is it’s based on the same technology they claim the government uses to monitor Internet Relay Chats.
NextSentry offers a new and unique approach that prevents employees from accidentally or maliciously distributing private data or intellectual property to the outside world. The product is based on proven technology that is being used by government agencies to monitor Internet RelayChat (IRC) rooms for suspicious behaviors such as potential threats to national security, child exploitation, and drug trafficking. Today, a growing list of well-known financial and healthcare institutions, are testing this technology to protect their confidential data from potentially damaging threats from inside their networks.
