Sensitive data is any data that poses risk to the company or organization if fallen into wrong hands and needs to be protected. Examples of such data can be anything from a prototype, source code, or documents. One of the easiest ways to capture such data would be using a camera available on smartphones. Unless the camera on these devices is blocked, employees/visitors can easily capture these data, risking exposure of private information.
We, at 42Gears, understand the intensity of this matter and have come up with a new solution CamLock.
CamLock, as the name suggests, allows admins to block cameras on Android Smartphones of employees/visitors in order to stop them from taking pictures or videos of confidential material based on the employee activity, location, and/or time of day.
