About Vericept's Data Loss Prevention Patent

Vericept's patent embodies nearly every major feature of data loss prevention products available on the market today. The patent's unique qualities include: the creation of categories or policies, content detection capabilities, content aware policy, data in motion analysis and detailed reporting of compliance events. Vericept's patented techniques provide the ability to:

Create Content Monitoring Policies for Compliance or Acceptable Use - Vericept's patent provides for the exclusive use of utilizing keywords and regular expressions to build monitoring policies for compliance or acceptable use. Patented policy construction also combines these keyword and regular expressions in ways that minimize false positives while at the same time maximizing analysis speed.

Monitor LAN, WAN and TCP/IP Communications - Vericept's patent provides for the exclusive use to monitor TCP/IP communications on a LAN or WAN for the purpose of compliance monitoring. Modern enterprise communications make heavy use of TCP/IP LAN and WAN communications and an enterprise class DLP solution must include the ability to monitor TCP/IP communications on a LAN or a WAN.

Provide Detailed Reporting Of Compliance Violations - Vericept's patent provides for the exclusive use to display portions of a compliance violation including the network address of the system violating compliance and the network users involved with the violation. When reporting the details of a compliance violation, an enterprise DLP system must provide the ability for a reviewer to quickly validate the violation, identify computing systems involved with the violation, and accurately identify the individuals involved in the violation.

According to a recent report by 451 Group, "With its granted patent, Vericept is able to claim technical efficacy while opening licensing and other revenue opportunities in the near to mid-term," said Nick Selby, Director of Research Operations & Research Director, Enterprise Security.
