About the Client File System Agent

You can use the Client File System Agent (CFSA), also known as ‘Policy on Save’, to control user attempts to copy files off the local hard disk. For example, the CFSA can monitor files being copied to removable storage devices (such as USB flash drives and SD cards), sync folders (such as DropBox), network locations, and writable CDs and DVDs. The CFSA can selectively block or allow a file and apply policy triggers based on a file’s text content or properties. For example, it can force users to encrypt files being copied onto removable devices.

The CFSA can also scan the local hard disk and apply policy triggers based on a file’s text content or properties. For example, it can categorize files based on their text content, and delete, replace or move unauthorized files.
