process operation type information comprising storage, encoding, compression, and transmission through a network; and

destination information according to operation performance.

8. A method of tracking an information leakage of an endpoint, comprising:

generating detection pattern information, by a management server, for detecting a leakage of user personal information and keyword information of a managed endpoint terminal;

transmitting the detection pattern information, by the management server, to the endpoint terminal connected through a network;

performing a first detection activity, by the endpoint terminal, by storing the detection pattern information provided by the management server, monitoring generation and change of a file by using the detection pattern information, searching for whether data to be detected, and matching information stored in a heap memory of a currently-executed process with the detection pattern information;

performing a second detection activity, by the endpoint terminal, according to monitoring of a particular API according to process execution;
