Abstract

A mechanism is provided for monitoring and controlling data access. Responsive to intercepting a response from a server to a request for information from a client device, a security system agent applies pattern matching using a predefined set of sensitive data pattern rules to identify at least one sensitive data access included in the response. Responsive to identifying at least one sensitive data access matching one or more of the predefined set of sensitive data pattern rules, the security system agent modifies that the request from the client by marking the at least one sensitive data access as sensitive thereby forming a modified request. The security system agent sends the modified request to the security system thereby causing the security system to process the modified request without access the sensitive data associated with the at least one marked sensitive data access.
