Content protection

Here™ enterprise browser enables companies to safeguard valuable data by restricting actions that users might take that could lead to data leakage. Protections are defined based on the internet domain of the content. This strategy enables apps containing confidential or proprietary data to run alongside general-purpose apps while minimizing the risk of that data escaping. Content protection features can form a part of a company's broader strategy for data loss prevention (DLP).

The following operations can be restricted on a per-domain basis:

  • Printing
  • Copying and pasting; pasting of protected data can be allowed into specified apps or not at all.
  • Dragging and dropping from one app to another

Printing​

When content for a domain is protected from printing, the Print context menu is disabled, and other methods for printing produce no output.

Copy and paste​

Copy and paste operations can be prevented or protected, based on the domain of the originating content or the receiving content. Administrators can completely block content from being copied. Or they can allow it to be copied only to a Secure Clipboard. Correspondingly, they can specify that a domain can receive pasted content only if it is not protected, or that a domain can receive any content, including protected content from the Secure Clipboard. If a user tries to paste protected content into an app or site that does not have access to it, an (admin-specified) error message is pasted instead.

Drag and drop​

Drag-and-drop operations based on the HTML5 drag and drop API can be blocked, based on the domain of the originating content. If drag-and-drop is blocked, the user is unable to drag the blocked content to any target. Drag-and-drop is automatically blocked for a domain when copying is protected or blocked for that domain. Applications that depend on HTML5 drag-and-drop might not function properly when dragging is blocked.
