Abstract
Automatic detection of security violation objects within distributions and appropriate handling of those violations is provided. A confidential object dictionary contains definitions of objects which violate security. Distributions are automatically searched for objects contained in the dictionary. A violation log may be used for summarizing violations and determining an appropriate predefined action for a violation. The appropriate predefined action for a violation may include third party notification, notifying third parties in priority order, safe storing the violation, or inhibiting distribution of the violation.
