ExitMist: Open Source Data Leak Prevention

ExitMist prevents data leaks and malware infections by monitoring user activity and data transfers, blocking sensitive file transfers, and wiping data from devices when triggered.

What is ExitMist?

ExitMist is an open source software designed to help prevent data leaks and malware infections when employees leave a company. It works by monitoring user activity and data transfers to watch for suspicious behavior or unauthorized data exfiltration. Some key features of ExitMist include:

• User activity monitoring - Tracks browsing history, downloads, external devices connected, and more to detect risky behavior
• Data transfer blocking - Can block transfer of sensitive or proprietary files to unauthorized devices/accounts
• Remote data wipe - When an employee departure is triggered, ExitMist can remotely wipe data from devices to prevent data theft
• Customizable triggers - Admins can set custom triggers tailored to their workflows around employee offboarding
• Intuitive dashboards - Provides visibility into user activity levels and risk factors

By leveraging ExitMist, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of departing employees stealing data, intellectual property, or installing malware. It automates and simplifies the employee offboarding process from a security perspective. As an open source platform, ExitMist is free to use and can be customized to integrate within an organization's existing infrastructure.
