Abstract
Rules are applied at a network perimeter to outbound network communications that contain file attachments. The rules may, in a variety of circumstances, require wrapping of an outbound file from the endpoint in a portable encrypted container. The network perimeter may be enforced locally at the endpoint, or at any network device between the endpoint and a recipient.
