Do you notify the students about the concerns of doing this when it is
detected?

Many students also provide their sensitive data via email when applying
for jobs, typically small to mid-size places. While employers shouldn't do
that, it happens all the time.

We're running Identity Finder (now Spirion Sensitive Data Manager, but we
haven't updated yet) on a few endpoints and it has helped to purge any
sensitive docs students have left on public workstations.

We had also previously enabled DLP on our Barracuda's outbound queue.
That worked immensely well for catching data with SSNs and CC numbers that
should not have been going out.  However, because student email was flowing
through the Barracuda, we had to disable it temporarily because it was
flagging, and quarantining, every email where a student or employee was
emailing their own tax information.  While this isn't a recommended or safe
practice, our concern is primarily employees emailing data belonging to the
University, students, or employees (other than the sender).

Just wondering if there is anyone using Data Loss Prevention technology
as part of their security arsenal.



If so what product are you using?  Has the product actually prevented any
exfiltration.
