Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for capturing input from users to prevent data loss may include (1) intercepting, as part of a data-loss-prevention application, user input intended for a data-processing application that would, if received by the data-processing application, cause the data-processing application to perform an operation on data that may violate a data-loss-prevention policy, (2) upon intercepting the user input, causing the data-processing application to perform an alternative operation on the data that makes the data accessible to the data-loss-prevention application, (3) scanning, while the data-processing application is prevented from performing the operation, the data for compliance with the data-loss-prevention policy, (4) determining, based on a result of the scanning, that the data complies with the data-loss-prevention policy, and (5) causing, in response to determining that the data complies with the data-loss-prevention policy, the data-processing application to perform the operation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
