A method for controlling access to email attachments, comprising:
- receiving, through a graphical user interface (GUI), a selection of a user group comprising a plurality of users;
- receiving, through the GUI, a selection of a rule, wherein the rule comprises at least one of:
- an encryption rule that requires encrypting at least one attachment to an email;
- and
- a removal rule that requires removing at least one attachment to an email;
- and
- enforcing the selected rule on the selected user group.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising code that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform stages for controlling access to email attachments, the stages comprising:
- receiving, through a graphical user interface (GUI), a selection of a user group comprising a plurality of users;
- receiving, through the GUI, a selection of a rule, wherein the rule comprises at least one of:
- an encryption rule that requires encrypting at least one attachment to an email;
- and
- a removal rule that requires removing at least one attachment to an email;
- and
- enforcing the selected rule on the selected user group.
A system for controlling access to email attachments, comprising:
- a processor that generates a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables selection of at least one rule to govern email access for a plurality of users;
- and
- an access control server communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to receive selections provided through the GUI,
- wherein the GUI receives a selection of a rule comprising at least one of:
- an encryption rule that requires encrypting at least one attachment to an email;
- and
- a removal rule that requires removing at least one attachment to an email;
- and
- wherein the access control server enforces the selected rule on the selected user group.
