Abstract
A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention for text fields may include (1) identifying a form submission sent from a client system, the form submission including a textual field, (2) storing at least one characteristic of a value of the textual field within the form submission in connection with an identifier of a form used to generate the form submission, (3) determining, based at least in part on the characteristic of the value of the textual field, that the textual field may include user-generated content, (4) intercepting a subsequent form submission derived from the form, (5) subjecting the textual field within the subsequent form submission to a data-loss-prevention analysis based at least in part on determining that the textual field may include user-generated content and (6) performing a data-loss-prevention action based on the data-loss-prevention analysis.
