Protect designs and other sensitive files from insider threats
Many companies struggle with protecting their sensitive IP, such as designs, spec sheets and formulas, from screenshots, phone cameras and printouts. Anyone who can open or see a sensitive document can easily take a screenshot or print it out for their own use without the company knowing. Since trusted insiders have access to a lot of sensitive data, anyone with a grudge against the company or someone who wants to make some money selling this data poses a threat to the business and its reputation. If this sensitive data got into the hands of a competitor, it could reduce revenue and impact market share if the competitor makes knock-off products.
Fasoo provides a visible watermark on screens, applications, URLs and printouts and can stop users from grabbing an image of sensitive data using screen capture tools. This deters users from taking pictures or printing sensitive data and sharing it with unauthorized users. If the data gets into the wrong hands, it allows companies to trace the source of the information.
A watermark with the company name, logo, user information, time and date can appear on the screen of applications and documents with sensitive information so that if a user takes a picture of the data with a phone or camera, the company can trace the image to the user. The same watermark can appear on printed information whether printed to a PDF or a piece of paper.
Administrators can apply security policies to any user, group or role within the organization. Security policies can prevent users from using screen capture tools to grab images of the sensitive data on the screen or prevent users from printing sensitive data. Audit logs can capture an image or the text of what is printed and an image of what a user tried to capture on screen. This can meet regulatory requirements that prove the chain-of-custody of sensitive data or just deter sharing. Exception polices allow users to request watermarks are not applied for a period of time to facilitate sharing plain versions of information.
