The disclosed computer-implemented method for utilizing metadata for protecting against the sharing of images in a computing network may include (i) identifying an image file stored in a public folder on a computing device, (ii) storing a copy of the image file within a secure data storage application, (iii) encoding metadata for revealing an image in the image file, (iv) performing a security action that protects against sharing the image file from the public folder by masking the image in the image file with the encoded metadata, and (v) rendering the image in the image file as an unmasked version of the image from the image file or the copy of the image file in the secure data storage application by decoding the metadata utilized to mask the image. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for utilizing metadata for protecting against the sharing of images in a computing network

Reputation-based transaction security. In one embodiment, a method for reputation-based transaction security may include obtaining data regarding a user device associated with a first party; obtaining data regarding an intended second party, the user device being used in a transaction between the first party and the intended second party; calculating a reputation score based on the data obtained regarding the user device and the intended second party; determining a likelihood that resources related to the transaction will be received by the intended second party based on determining that the reputation score satisfies a pre-determined threshold; and automatically initiating a remedial action to the user device based on determining the likelihood that resources related to the transaction will be received by the intended second party.

Reputation-based transaction security

The disclosed computer-implemented method for preventing sharing of sensitive content in image data on a closed computing platform may include (i) detecting initiation of a network connection for sending network traffic data to a data storage service on the closed computing platform, (ii) monitoring the sending of the network traffic data to identify a target traffic indicator associated with image data, (iii) interrupting the sending of the network traffic data upon identifying the target traffic indicator, (iv) analyzing the image data to identify sensitive content, and (v) performing a security action that protects against the sensitive content being shared to the data storage service on the closed computing platform. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
