Cognitive confidentiality guardian

A computer readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method of training a machine to protect secure information in computer communications, the method comprising:

• detecting by a computer process running on a server an initiation of an action if executed transmits data to a destination domain;
• determining whether the destination domain is a permissible destination for sending the secure information data contains secure information;
• responsive to determining that the destination domain is not the permissible destination, determining whether the data contains secure information;
• responsive to determining that the data contains secure information,
• generating an alert signal to alert an initiator of the action;
• determining whether the action is executed subsequent to alerting the initiator of the action;
• and
• responsive to determining that the action is executed, training the computer process to learn that the destination domain is permissible destination.

A system of training a machine to protect secure information in computer communications, comprising:

• at least one hardware processor coupled to a communication interface,
• the hardware processor running a computer operating system level process operable to detect an initiation of an action if executed transmits data to a destination domain via the communication interface;
• the hardware processor running a cognitive process operable to determine whether the destination domain is permissible destination for sending secure information;
• responsive to determining that the destination domain is not the permissible destination, the cognitive process operable to determine whether the data contains secure information;
• responsive to determining that the data contains the secure information, the cognitive process further operable to generate an alert signal to alert an initiator of the action;
• the hardware processor further operable to determine whether the action is executed after alerting the initiator of the action;
• responsive to determining that the action is executed, the hardware processor further operable to train the cognitive process to learn that the destination domain is permissible destination.
