IDG Contributor Network: Closing the data floodgates
The unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and controlled data is a major issue

that attempt to monitor common communication channels for the presence of
controlled data, and to mask the data, preventing its transmission in readable
format. Here are some pros and cons.
