Custom Security Rules: Tailored Protection for Your Environment
Get tailored security rules designed specifically for your unique environment. Our experts create custom controls to meet your exact security requirements.
Expert-Designed Security Rules for Your Unique Needs
When predefined rules don't address your specific security requirements, ByStorm's security experts can create custom rules tailored precisely to your organization's unique environment and needs. Our team works with you to understand your security challenges and designs rules that provide targeted protection while maintaining operational efficiency.
Advanced File Targeting
We can create rules targeting specific file types, locations, or even individual files using wildcards, extensions, or precise path specifications. Rules can include both inclusive and exclusive patterns for maximum flexibility.
Operation Control
Custom rules can monitor or block specific file operations: read, write, create, delete, rename, or security changes. Different operations can have different actions applied, giving you precise control.
Contextual Access Controls
Rules can be based on user accounts, group membership, program names, machine names, or even time restrictions. This allows for highly granular control over who can access what data and when.
Application Filtering
One of our most powerful capabilities is program name filtering, which allows rules to control which applications can perform specific operations on files, adding a layer of security beyond traditional access controls.
Benefits of Custom Security Rules for Your Organization
While our predefined rules address common security scenarios, custom rules offer several important advantages for organizations with specific requirements:
- Tailored Protection: Address unique security challenges specific to your organization
- Legacy System Support: Protect legacy applications and systems with specialized requirements
- Industry-Specific Compliance: Meet regulatory requirements with rules designed for your industry
- Complex Environments: Address security needs in complex or unusual IT infrastructures
- Precision Targeting: Minimize false positives with rules designed for your exact requirements
Our security experts work closely with your team to understand your environment, identify potential vulnerabilities, and design rules that provide maximum protection with minimal operational impact.
1. Initial Consultation
Our security experts meet with your team to understand your security challenges, environment, and requirements. We'll discuss your specific concerns, compliance needs, and operational constraints.
2. Rule Design
Based on our consultation, we design custom rules that address your specific security requirements. We consider file types, operations, users, applications, and other factors to create precisely targeted rules.
3. Testing
We thoroughly test the custom rules in a controlled environment to ensure they provide the expected protection while minimizing false positives and operational impact.
4. Implementation
Our team helps you implement the custom rules in your environment, providing guidance on deployment, configuration, and monitoring to ensure successful operation.
5. Optimization
After implementation, we work with you to fine-tune the rules based on real-world performance, addressing any issues and optimizing protection while minimizing impact on legitimate operations.
Industry-Specific Custom Security Rules in Action
Here are some examples of custom rules we've created for organizations with specific security challenges:
Healthcare Provider
A hospital needed to protect sensitive patient records while allowing specific medical applications to access the data. We created custom rules that allowed only authorized medical applications to read patient files, blocking all other applications even if users had legitimate file system permissions.
Financial Institution
A bank needed to prevent unauthorized transfers of customer financial data. We developed rules that monitored and controlled access to financial records based on a combination of application, user role, and time of day, with special alerts for unusual access patterns.
Manufacturing Company
A manufacturer needed to protect proprietary design files from theft. We created custom rules that prevented design files from being copied to external drives or sent via email, while still allowing their CAD software and authorized applications to access the files normally.
Government Agency
A government department needed to implement strict controls for classified information. We developed hierarchical rules to control access to sensitive data based on clearance level, with detailed auditing to track all file operations for compliance and security purposes.
