Systems, methods, and media for generating user alerts

Abstract

Mechanisms, including systems, methods, and media, for generating alerts are provided, the mechanisms including: receiving an application to be executed on a user device; injecting code into the application using a hardware processor; determining that network traffic violates a policy; and generating an alert message that indicates to the code that an alert is to be generated to a user. In some embodiments, the application is a web page that is to be executed by a browser on the user device. In some embodiments, the policy is a data loss prevention policy. In some embodiments, the mechanisms further include blocking the network traffic. In some embodiments, the mechanisms further include determining that the application is to have code injected into it based on a source or a classification of a source of the application.
