The Content Registration feature in CA DataMinder, also known as fingerprinting, enables you to take 'fingerprints' of sensitive documents that you want to protect. In effect, you can register the content of these documents so that they can be quickly recognized if a user tries to copy or send them or when CA DataMinder runs a file scan. CA DataMinder can then apply appropriate policy controls.
These fingerprints represent unique document signatures and are made available to CA DataMinder policy engines and endpoint agents. When a policy engine or endpoint agent analyzes a file, it can quickly determine whether the file matches a known fingerprint and apply policy controls to that file. For example, it can block a fingerprinted document from being sent as an email attachment or copied to a USB device.
The key advantage of fingerprinting is that it is quick and easy to roll out. No sophisticated policy changes are required. Instead of defining complex document classifications in the user policy, you can register the content of the files you want to protect.
Fingerprinting is also the most efficient way to protect documents with highly specialized text content, such as source code, or files with little text content, such as CAD drawings, graphics saved in a spreadsheet, or multimedia files.
Important! Content Agents cannot detect fingerprinted files when they are printed. This means you cannot use the Client Print System Agent to apply content agent triggers to fingerprinted files to, for example, block them from being printed.
