Abstract
A system and method for detecting and protecting against potential data loss from unknown applications is described. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting, by an endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) system running on a client computing device, that a local application has accessed a document on the client computing device. The method further includes determining that the document contains sensitive data according to one or more DLP polices of the endpoint DLP system and determining that a combination of the local application and a type of the document is not included in a whitelist of the DLP policies. Then, the method includes capturing at least one of one or more screenshots, and video of one or more operations that the application performs on the document and sending the captured at least one of the one or more screenshots, and the video to an enforcement server associated with the endpoint DLP system.
