What is UserCheck?
UserCheck is a communication tool used to inform users about potential non-compliant or dangerous activities, helping to enforce security policies by notifying users in real-time about their actions on a website or application they are trying to access.
The UserCheck client is installed on endpoint computers to communicate with the gateway and show UserCheck interaction notifications to users. It works with the Data Loss Prevention and Content Awareness Software Blades. Notifications of incidents can be sent by email (for SMTP traffic) or shown in a popup from the UserCheck client in the system tray (for SMTP, HTTP and FTP).
