About this Article:
IT security and compliance teams are overwhelmed and require good policy definition and maintenance tools for real-time monitoring and forensic e-discovery. Corporate governance requirements and protection of sensitive information in the company make policy environments for content control solutions critical for pre-review and post-review. This article focuses on the challenges of policy creation and updates to meet company requirements. Real-time technology that monitors incoming and outgoing information content -- via e-mail, instant messaging, Web traffic, file transfers, or other communication tools -- generate correct and incorrect results. You must use these results to reinforce or correct the company policies automatically or in a user-assisted mode.
