Systems and methods for screenshot mediation based on policy
In some aspects, a method for mediation of a screenshot capture by a client application based on policy includes identifying, by a client application on a client device, a policy for mediating one or more screenshots of content displayed via the client application. An embedded browser within the client application accesses a network application of one or more servers. The method further includes intercepting, by the client application, a request to capture a screenshot of at least a portion of the network application being displayed, determining, by the client application, one or more mediation actions to perform on the screenshot responsive to the policy, performing, by the client application, the one or more mediation actions on the screenshot, and providing, by the client responsive to the request, the screenshot resulting from the one or more mediation actions.
1. A method for mediation of a screenshot captured by a client application based on a policy, the method comprising:
intercepting, by a client application on a client device, a request to capture a screenshot, wherein the screenshot includes at least a portion of a network application accessed via an embedded browser of the client application being displayed;
identifying, by the client application, responsive to intercepting the request, the network application accessed via the embedded browser;
selecting, by the client application, from a plurality of policies, a policy to apply to the screenshot based at least on the network application identified by the client application;
determining, by the client application, one or more mediation actions to perform on the screenshot responsive to the policy;
performing, by the client application, the one or more mediation actions on the screenshot; and
providing, by the client responsive to the request, the screenshot resulting from the one or more mediation actions.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the client device is operated by a first entity different than a second entity of the one or more servers or the network application.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy is selected based on the network application and at least one of a user of the client device or the client device.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining, by the client application, the plurality of policies from a server of an entity of the client device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein intercepting, by the client application, the request to capture the screenshot further comprises detecting, by the client application, one or more keystrokes or pointer actions corresponding to the request to capture the screenshot.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing, by the client application, the one or more mediation actions on the screenshot further comprises capturing the screenshot responsive to the request.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy specifies the one or more mediation actions.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more mediation actions comprises including a watermark in the screenshot.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing, by the client application, the one or more mediation actions on the screenshot further comprises creating metadata and including the metadata in or associated with the screenshot.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing, by the client application, the one or more mediation actions on the screenshot further comprises one of redacting, masking or blanking portions of content of the screenshot based on the policy, the content comprising content of the network application being displayed in the embedded browser.
11. A system for mediation of a screenshot captured by a client application based on a policy, the system comprising:
a client application executable on one or more processors of a client device configured to:
intercept a request to capture a screenshot, wherein the screenshot includes at least a portion of a network application accessed via an embedded browser of the client application being displayed;
identify, responsive to intercepting the request, the network application accessed via the embedded browser;
select, from a plurality of policies, a policy to apply to the screenshot based at least on the network application identified by the client application;
determine one or more mediation actions to perform on the screenshot responsive to the policy;
perform the one or more mediation actions on the screenshot; and
provide, responsive to the request, the screenshot resulting from the one or more mediation actions.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the client device is configured to be operated by a first entity different than a second entity of the one or more servers or the network application.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the policy is selected based on the network application and at least one of a user of the client device or the client device.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the client application is further configured to obtain the plurality of policies from a server of an entity of the client device.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the client application is further configured to detect one or more keystrokes or pointer actions corresponding to the request to take the screenshot.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the client application is further configured to cause the capture of the screenshot responsive to the request.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the policy specifies the one or more mediation actions.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more mediation actions comprises including a watermark in the screenshot.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the client application is further configured to create metadata and include the metadata in or associated with the screenshot.
20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the client application is further configured to perform at least one of redact, mask or blank portions of content of the screenshot based on the policy, the content comprising content of the network application being displayed in the embedded browser.
