On the road to Outpost 7.5. Clipboard and screen content protection

Next blog posting in Outpost 7.5 series refers to clipboard protection, a new direction to safeguard users against inadvertent data disclosure and ID theft.

Aside from keyloggers and keyboard spyware, both of which are detected by Outpost's antimalware and proactive protection technologies, new type of malicious software has recently appeared which grabs personal data (passwords, credit card numbers, etc.) from the clipboard (so called *clipboard-loggers*) or sends randomly-taken screenshots (*screenloggers*) to hackers.


Clipboard content protection functionality is now included in the anti-leak module, to prevent data leaks and inadvertent information disclosure during copy operations. You don’t have to worry about cutting and pasting personally-identifiable information while you’re online, or entering confidential information into an on-screen form.

Stay tuned for more updates on Outpost 7.5! We're planning a public beta of this new product line soon!
