Automated content transport security

A method for use by a content transport security system including a computing platform having a processing hardware and a system memory storing a software code, the method comprising:

• intercepting, by the software code executed by the processing hardware, an encrypted content file during a file transfer between a client device and a destination device;
• decrypting, by the software code executed by the processing hardware, the encrypted content file intercepted during the file transfer to obtain a decrypted content file;
• performing, by the software code executed by the processing hardware, at least one of an audio analysis or a visual analysis of the decrypted content file to provide content analysis data identifying at least one of audio or imagery, respectively, included in the decrypted content file;
• assigning, by the software code executed by the processing hardware, a classification to the file transfer, based on the content analysis data, the classification being one of allowable, forbidden, or suspicious;
• and
• allowing or blocking, by the software code executed by the processing hardware, the file transfer of the encrypted content file to the destination device, based on the classification.
