After thinking on this further, I have submitted a plug in request to Packeteer to look for SSN and credit card numbers so that the packets can be discarded at the packetshaper. I would think they should be able to do this with their deep level of packet inspection they always state. I also suggested a discard only rule so to not allow the harvesting of the information. Maybe others would want to submit the same request? -----Original Message----- From: Leila Lyons [mailto:leila () UDEL EDU] Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 12:22 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Software that scans for SSN Colleagues: As part of the University of Delaware's project http://www.udel.edu/pnpi/ to protect personal non-public information, (e.g. SSNs, credit card/bank account numbers, medical/educational records, and other sensitive, confidential or protected data), we have been looking at software that would scan files and e-mail for SSNs in particular. The software would be used on systems that we know have been compromised. Those that we have found so far are: a) Ontrack Power Controls b) Sherpa Mail Attender c) Sherpa Discovery Attender d) Quest Recover Manager for Exchange e) Copernic Are any of you using one of these products, or a different one, and willing to share your experiences? You can respond to me and I will summarize to the list. Thank you! Leila Lyons Director, IT-User Services University of Delaware
