As we continue our “App of the Month” program, which highlights a resourceful new application from our Sentrion App Store, we’ve selected an application that plays a crucial role in national security and are highlighting the Federal Government Policies application.
Due to the challenges around the ascent of global computing and communications technologies that have virtually eliminated international borders, information is more likely to fall into the wrong hands, thus leading to vital national security information at the risk of being inadvertently leaked by sending messages to the wrong person. And, in recent years, the U.S. Government has stepped up International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) audit and enforcement, levying severe financial penalties against enterprises in several high-profile cases.
The Federal Government Policies App works directly within the mail stream, allowing you to rely on proactive policy enforcement without the need to adapt an add-on DLP solution. When a violation is detected in the email body or any attachment, the application takes action based on custom policies. For example, an organization can dictate the following actions based on pre-set policies:
- Block the message and notify the sender of the violation
- Quarantine the message and create an entry in the Incident Remediation and Reporting Application for further review
- Encrypt and send the message using the Voltage or S/MIME Encryption
