Systems and methods for securing data in electronic communications

Abstract:

Certain embodiments involve data security. For instance, Records having sensitive information can be transformed to generate transformed data using a hashing algorithm. An electronic communication comprising content can be received. Transformed content can be generated by transforming the content. The transformed content can be compared to the transformed data. The transformed content can be determined to match at least one of the transformed records. The electronic communication can be prevented from being transmitted to a network.
