Data transfer authorization and restriction analysis system
The patent US12052289B2 outlines a method and system for managing data transfer restrictions between computing systems based on their physical locations. The method involves analyzing data transfer log entries to determine whether a first computing system is authorized to transfer data to a second computing system. This analysis includes identifying the physical location of the second system and checking against predefined location-based transfer restrictions. If the transfer is unauthorized, the system stores metadata indicating this restriction and prevents the first computing system from executing any operations related to the transfer. Additionally, the method allows for the detection of subsequent transfer requests and assesses them against the established restrictions.
Furthermore, the patent describes the provision of an authorization interface that can override these restrictions if valid authorization data is received. The restrictions can be based on various factors, including geographic locations, jurisdictions, or data breach events associated with the second computing system. The system is designed to enhance data security by ensuring that unauthorized transfers are blocked, thereby protecting sensitive information from being transmitted to potentially insecure locations. The implementation of this method can be facilitated through a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores the necessary instructions for executing these operations.
