Cord3 implements its data-centric security in Intercepts. These Intercepts get overlaid onto a network between users and application servers. By “overlaid”, we mean that there are minimal changes required to get Intercepts to work because they simply get connected to a network and immediately begin capturing data asset packets flowing over a network between end points. When a data asset (e.g., a file or an email) is fully re-built on an Intercept, the Intercept applies the organization’s security policy to that data asset before delivering the now-secured data to its destination.
