Abstract
The present document describes systems and methods that detect unauthorized transmission of data from internal networks to remote service providers, even when the transmission occurs over an encrypted connection. An exfiltration monitor is configured to monitor encrypted communications between clients within an internal network and a remote service provider. In various implementations, the exfiltration monitor associates the encrypted connections with account information, and applies exfiltration policies to the connections based at least in part on the associated account information. In additional implementations, the exfiltration monitor is provided with cryptographic keys that facilitate packet inspection of the encrypted connections. In many situations, the exfiltration monitor can use this information to discern between authorized use of a remote service, and unauthorized data exfiltration to the remote service.
