Content security through transformation
Simon R. Wiseman · Computer Fraud & Security · 2017
Organisations have to exchange content with others, but there is an inherent risk in doing so. Incoming content might be carrying malware, outgoing content might be leaking sensitive information and content being exchanged might form a command and control channel for an existing attack. Sharing data with other organisations is risky. The content might be carrying malware and outgoing content might be leaking sensitive information. Defences that check content to ensure that only safe content is exchanged can only handle known problems. Two technologies tackle this issue – content disarm and reconstruct (CDR) and content threat removal (CTR). Simon Wiseman of Deep Secure describes and compares the technologies so that potential users can understand the risks and benefits of deploying them.
