  2. Network agent applies Data In Motion triggers.

    Data in Motion triggers can analyze data submitted to web sites. They can analyze the text content to detect key phrases or to check whether a submitted file matches a particular document classification. They can use XML Attribute data lookup commands to file attributes such as size, date created, date last modified, and the file author. Each trigger can also apply a further device filter to monitor specific removable devices.

    If a trigger fires, you can configure control actions to block or categorize the data submission.

    If no control trigger fires, the user is allowed to submit the data.
