Preventing sensitive data output to human operator via remote access
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11983552B2) discloses a computer-implemented method aimed at preventing sensitive data received via a remote access protocol from being displayed to a human operator. The method involves receiving data from a virtual remote server via a remote desktop protocol to render an image of an application's user interface. Automated processes are performed on the application by a virtual operator within the virtual machine. The processor then identifies sensitive data in the text-based representation of the application using preselected filters and modifies the data to remove the identified sensitive information before outputting a modified user interface to the computer's output peripherals for interaction with the human operator.
Furthermore, the patent includes additional claims such as preselecting filters based on sensitive data, extracting a text-based representation of the application from the remote server, utilizing machine learning models for identifying text or images, and specifying that the unmodified user interface is not output to the computer's peripherals. The patent also covers a computer-readable medium containing instructions for executing the method and a computing system comprising the necessary components to carry out the disclosed method. Overall, the patent aims to enhance data security by preventing the inadvertent display of sensitive information to human operators during remote access interactions.
