Box Unlocks a New Level of Security in the Cloud by Adding Intelligent, Automated Classification to Box Shield - Seite 2

With intelligent automated classification in Box Shield, customers will be able to:

• Automatically identify multiple personally identifiable information types within files, including social security numbers, driver’s licenses, International Bank Account Number (IBAN) codes, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9/ICD-10) codes, and more
• Automatically identify custom terms and phrases within files – for example: “Box Confidential”, “Internal use only”, and “NDA required”
• Easily create policies that apply the appropriate classification label based on desired logic - including and/or conditions and unique counts

Once files are classified appropriately, Shield can help prevent data leakage through a combination of access controls already in use by Shield customers today, such as shared link, external collaboration, and download restrictions. The new feature supports the most common unstructured file types in Box, including documents, spreadsheets, PDF, Box Notes, and more.

“Remote work has accelerated cloud adoption as businesses seek to enable a distributed workforce and serve their customers digitally,” said Lakshmi Hanspal, CISO at Box. “This requires a completely new approach to security and privacy. As more work is done outside office boundaries on both managed and personal devices it is critical to have one source of truth for all of your data in order to meet new regulatory and compliance standards without slowing down business.”

The new automated classification feature comes on the heels of a series of security enhancements Box announced this year. In April, Box added malware detection to Box Shield, which automatically labels files as malicious and restricts downloads and local editing to prevent the spread to more users and devices. A month later, Box announced an improved Device Trust, allowing companies to specify ownership and security requirements on both personal and company-owned devices so users can easily and securely access content in Box. Automated classification augments the existing option for Box customers to classify files via API, through Box’s security partners.

The new Box Shield automated classification capabilities will begin to be available today and will roll out to eligible customers over the next month. To learn more, please see our blog post here and join us at the launch webinar on August 6.
