Dynamic monitoring of movement of data

Abstract:

A computer-based system and method for monitoring of movement of data in a computer network, including: parsing a message, the message including one of a data access command sent to a computer database and a response to a data access command, to extract a template, metadata and data of the data access command, examining the template, metadata and data of the message to identify messages related to movement of data that is classified as sensitive, and generating a flow graph indicative of new locations of the sensitive data. Policy rules may be applied to the new locations of the sensitive data to monitor access to the new location.
