Data Loss Prevention Architecture

In addition to protecting internal websites from attacks and fraudulent activity, Composable Architecture Platform can also be used to monitor employee’s interactions with external websites (such as social networking sites, blogs and wikis). The most common use of this feature is for internal users to limit access to specific sites (for example Facebook and Twitter) for business purposes.

The following diagram illustrates how Composable Architecture Platform can be configured to monitor all traffic going to one or more nominated sites:

The key to this feature is to introduce a second DNS server within the company infrastructure. This second DNS server provides an override IP address for sites that are monitored by Composable Architecture Platform, ensuring that all the traffic is visible to the appliance. The monitoring appliance can be hosted and managed by an external service provider or can be installed in-house.
