Israeli developer Covertix has added a patented dynamic real-time context classification engine within its SmartCipher data protection product.

“Security requirements are not static,” says Covertix founder & CTO Tzach Kaufmann. “Really protecting information means that you need the ability to dynamically allow or block certain operations on the same data based on who, what, when, where, and how it is accessed and used.” 

The dynamic real-time context classification engine can determine is the right action to take when an end user accesses sensitive content. The same document may require different levels of security based on access parameters and usage.

Traditional classification determines what kind of policy should be on the file: category A for financial data, category B for HIPAA information, etc. Covertix takes this further, classifying security in context in real time.

For example, it prevents a user from printing sensitive documents if he or she is not using a specific printer or allowing access to certain documents when working onsite. Even copying and pasting can be controlled.
