SKYPE DLP Solutions
Server-side DLP inspection for Skype for Business traffic, helping detect, block, mask, notify, or monitor sensitive content across IM, files, federation, and unified communication channels.
Data loss prevention for unified communication channels
Many companies invest significant effort and resources in their Data Loss Prevention systems, covering main content channels such as email and web services. At the same time, many fail to cover data moving through unified communication channels such as Skype for Business.
As Skype for Business extends outside network boundaries through federation and meetings, communication with external parties can create security and data protection risks.

Works with built-in SphereShield DLP or commercial DLP vendors through ICAP or REST API.
Server-side content inspection module
Preventing data leaks through Skype for Business is challenging because of the variety of mobile, web and desktop clients, as well as the SIP protocol used by the clients.
Skype for Business requires content and data transfer inspection outside the regular inspection areas of most vendors.
SphereShield uses a server-side inspection approach, covering all possible Skype for Business infrastructure channels regardless of the client being used.
The solution is based on a content inspection module with an adapter that can send content through ICAP to a DLP provider.
Server-side adapter
Inspects Skype for Business content at the infrastructure level instead of relying on the client device.
Any client type
Inspects traffic from PC, mobile and web clients.
Incident response
Modifies messages based on the DLP incident response from the DLP provider.
Flexible protection with built-in rules or commercial integrations
For companies without an existing DLP product, SphereShield offers a built-in DLP engine that inspects content going through Skype for Business IM and binary files.
The engine can prevent content from exiting the network based on out-of-the-box and configurable rules that detect sensitive information such as credit card numbers and social security numbers.
Detect credit card numbers, social security numbers and other configured data types.
Use DLP rules for anti-harassment and workplace safety policy compliance.
