Submission + - Dataleak detection that moves files to an employer (netagent.co.jp)

UnsignedInt32 writes: "Japanese security vendor, "NetAgent" released the software solution aimed to detect unauthorized data takeout called Winny Tokubetsu Cyousain 2 (Japanese of "Winny Special Detective 2.") This solution is a set of client and server, and employees run the client in their personal computer at home. The client software searchs through files in employees' personal computer to find the file with matching keywords, which are specified by their employer. What makes this solution controversial is that the client software can be "factory configured" by their employer (but not by employee) to send detected files to the company server, and then deletes those files from employees' computer. Employees then must ask their employer to get back false positive files transferred to company server."
