Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for the steps of identifying, through a monitoring module of a security software component, a data extraction behavior of a software application attempting to extract data from an endpoint computing facility; and in response to a finding that the data extraction behavior is related to extracting sensitive information and that the behavior is a suspicious behavior, causing the endpoint to perform a remedial action. The security software component may be a computer security software program, a sensitive information compliance software program, and the like.
Claims20
A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computers, performs the steps of:
