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.

Dynamic monitoring of movement of data

Examples of techniques for detecting and preventing sensitive information leaks are described herein. In one example, a method for detection of sensitive information leaks comprises computing, via a processor, a set of rules that identify sensitive information, and sending, via the processor, the set of rules to a dispatcher application using a protocol. The method can also include detecting, via the processor, that at least one data block of the transmitted data matches the set of rules, and executing, via the processor, a corrective action in response to detecting that at least one of the transmitted data blocks matches the set of rules.
