Intelligent, frictionless security
to protect the flow of content
Leading organizations protect their data with Box Shield
Automatically classify sensitive data
Classify new and historical content your way, both manually and automatically. Box Shield's native capability helps you identify regulated data and proprietary information when content is considered "active" — when it's uploaded, shared, previewed, edited, downloaded, and more. You can also use Box security partners to classify and protect your data at scale.
Prevent leaks without sacrificing productivity
Placing controls close to your content helps prevent leaks in real time and powers a seamless user experience. Configure PII data classification and monitoring or enforcement mode within minutes to keep your data secure while letting people continue their mission-critical work. Frictionless controls — like allowing end users to make one-time exceptions to Box Shield’s access restrictions with admin-defined business justifications — let you collaborate safely.
Protect your content against advanced malware attacks
Box Shield's native multi-layered threat-detection capabilities help you reduce content-centric risks. With deep learning-based malware detection, you can discover and contain malware spread before it becomes a data breach. Box Shield scans content as it's uploaded, shared, previewed, edited, and downloaded (and more) and provides broader coverage for sophisticated malware, including ransomware.
Empower your security team with timely alerts
Using machine learning, Box Shield brings you timely, informative alerts on potentially compromised accounts and data exfiltration actions, in addition to malware attacks. Quickly get context-rich alerts on logins from suspicious locations, anomalous activities, and abnormal access patterns in Box Shield, or send them to your existing tools for further analysis.
Halt conflicts of interest with information barriers
With the help of Box Shield’s Ethical Walls, you can segregate specific content between different Box user segments. This capability supports both one-way and bi-directional restrictions between segments, as well as clear end-user messaging. Plus, get a report highlighting all potentially impacted collaborations before you enable information barriers.
Integrate with your cloud security portfolio
Box Shield works with the best-of-breed security tools you already have in place. Alerts containing more insights than ever before can be integrated with your SIEM and CASB for a unified view. That way, Shield's native controls and alerts serve as a valuable complement to your overall security portfolio.
