Automated obscuring system and method

1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:

receiving content from a third-party;

processing the content to predict disclosure of sensitive information in the content received from the third-party, wherein processing the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information includes, processing text-based content associated with the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information, and further includes one or more of examining the content for cues provided by the third-party, examining the content for cues provided by the platform user, and monitoring a workflow being followed by the platform user, wherein prediction of the disclosure is utilized to bias analysis in order to increase the likelihood of obscuring sensitive information; and

obscuring the sensitive information in the content from a platform user, based upon, at least in part, predicting the disclosure of the sensitive information, wherein obscuring the sensitive information from the platform user includes one or more of blocking the content from the platform user, providing a filler audio signal to the platform user, and providing garbled content to the platform user.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the third-party is a customer and the platform user is a customer service representative.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein processing the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information includes:

converting non-text content into text-based content.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

proactively monitoring for solicitation, by the platform user, of superfluous sensitive information from the third-party; and

in the event that superfluous sensitive information is being solicited, initiating an alarm procedure.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining a language of the content.

6. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving content from a third-party;

processing the content to predict disclosure of sensitive information in the content received from the third-party, wherein processing the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information includes, processing text-based content associated with the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information, and further includes one or more of examining the content for cues provided by the third-party, examining the content for cues provided by the platform user, and monitoring a workflow being followed by the platform user, wherein prediction of the disclosure is utilized to bias analysis in order to increase the likelihood of obscuring sensitive information; and

obscuring the sensitive information in the content from a platform user, based upon, at least in part, predicting the disclosure of the sensitive information, wherein obscuring the sensitive information from the platform user includes one or more of blocking the content from the platform user, providing a filler audio signal to the platform user, and providing garbled content to the platform user.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 wherein the third-party is a customer and the platform user is a customer service representative.

8. The computer program product of claim 6 wherein processing the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information includes:

converting non-text content into text-based content.

9. The computer program product of claim 6 further comprising:

proactively monitoring for solicitation, by the platform user, of superfluous sensitive information from the third-party; and

in the event that superfluous sensitive information is being solicited, initiating an alarm procedure.

10. The computer program product of claim 6 further comprising:

determining a language of the content.

11. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving content from a third-party;

processing the content to predict disclosure of sensitive information in the content received from the third-party, wherein processing the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information includes, processing text-based content associated with the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information, and further includes one or more of examining the content for cues provided by the third-party, examining the content for cues provided by the platform user, and monitoring a workflow being followed by the platform user, wherein prediction of the disclosure is utilized to bias analysis in order to increase the likelihood of obscuring sensitive information; and

obscuring the sensitive information in the content from a platform user, based upon, at least in part, predicting the disclosure of the sensitive information, wherein obscuring the sensitive information from the platform user includes one or more of blocking the content from the platform user, providing a filler audio signal to the platform user, and providing garbled content to the platform user.

12. The computing system of claim 11 wherein the third-party is a customer and the platform user is a customer service representative.

13. The computing system of claim 11 wherein processing the content to predict the disclosure of sensitive information includes:

converting non-text content into text-based content.

14. The computing system of claim 11 further comprising:

proactively monitoring for solicitation, by the platform user, of superfluous sensitive information from the third-party; and

in the event that superfluous sensitive information is being solicited, initiating an alarm procedure.

15. The computing system of claim 11 further comprising:

determining a language of the content.
