Abstract
Examples of techniques for detecting and preventing sensitive information leaks are described herein. In one example, a method for detection of sensitive information leaks includes computing, via a processor, a set of rules that identify sensitive information, and sending, via the processor, the set of rules to a dispatcher application using a protocol. The method can also include detecting, via the processor, that at least one data block of the transmitted data matches the set of rules, and executing, via the processor, a corrective action in response to detecting that at least one of the transmitted data blocks matches the set of rules.
