Abstract	Many of the information security appliances, devices, and techniques currently in use are designed to keep unwanted users and Internet traffic away from important information assets by denying unauthorized access to servers, databases, networks, storage media, and other underlying technology resources. These approaches employ firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, reverse proxies, and event logging, for example, as well as processes designed to ensure that software does not contain known flaws that might allow miscreants to gain illicit access. Other techniques prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining system or data access through legitimate entry points. These techniques rely on passwords, multi-factor logon, virtual private networks (VPN), identity management systems, and the like. Axiomatically, no security system can be completely effective. Security professionals must assume that criminals will find a way past protections or that inappropriate behavior (accidental or otherwise) by trusted insiders will compromise critical data. To improve the safety of critical information assets, security professionals should consider adding additional defensive layers that focus on protecting the data directly. In this article, the author describes a useful new tool in the information security kit--outbound content monitoring and filtering--which can help prevent sensitive data loss.
