SearchInform FTPController

CHALLENGE

FTP is suitable for transfer of large volumes of data: databases, detailed drawings, scanned documents, and other big files. While FTP blocking indeed prevents data leaks over FTP, it might lead to a significant deterioration of work productivity.

SOLUTION

A contemporary information security system should allow employees to use all information channels. SearchInform FTPController analyzes information flows, captures documents, and saves the data to a special storage, which you can search using the SearchInform Client application.

KEY FEATURES

• Encrypted FTP-traffic monitoring. When capturing data at the endpoint level, FTPController monitors data transferred over an FTP connection or encrypted SSL connection.
• User identification. The software captures domain accounts, target URLs as well as names of FTP-server users.
• Sophisticated search engine. The SearchInform Client application allows you to run a full-text stemmed search by keywords as well as a proximity search by phrases. You can also search with thematic dictionaries to find documents related to a particular topic.
• Patented similar-content search. You can use text of any size as a search query. The system compares the contents of documents transferred over FTP connection with the query, then lists found documents in the order of relevance.
• User activity filter. Using SearchInform Client, you can view user activity data filtered by the date, domain, users, computers, FTP servers, traffic direction (inbound or outbound), document name, document type, and document size.
• Scalability. Server modules installed on separate computers allow processing huge data volumes.
