Preventing Data Exfiltration in Legacy File Servers

Legacy servers often lack Data Loss Prevention (DLP) features. If a user has FTP access, they can theoretically download the entire database. A secure access layer can change that.

Role-Based Exfiltration Control

By assigning roles like "Viewer," you can allow users to see data without the ability to download it. This zero-download isolation ensures that bits stay within the secure proxy environment unless explicitly authorized for "Evidence Capture."

Anomaly Detection with AI

Integrated AI analysis can scan audit logs for mass-preview patterns or unusual browsing behavior. If a user suddenly previews 500 sensitive documents, the system can flag it as a potential exfiltration event.

Securing the Gateway

The gateway itself must be zero-trust. By binding every request to a verified identity, you ensure that even "allowed" downloads are tied to a real person for forensic accountability.
