Spark and Scanning of Attachments, i.e. Content Control?

[pcantore]

Not 100% clear on this but we have had a customer raise a specific security scenario in their evaluation of Spark - it goes something like this:

"It seems that Spark is current enforcing that perimter security solutions are deactivated and DPI cannot be used" - is this the case?

If so what is the solution to the problem as the client in question will not allow any content in/out of their business that is not scanned, this includes content such as documents via Spark rooms.

As a side note, is there progress on the hinted at "If there is a need to inspect content, Spark is developing a governance and compliance tool that allows an enterprise customer to inspect data for policy compliance of their org." in the Spark and Webproxy with HTTPS inspection discussion?

pcantore,

Since you are a Cisco partner, I recommend you also post this to the Cisco Partner Community in the Spark space for more visibility and opportunity for appropriate feedback regarding your customer's situation.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Kelli,

This has been addressed by our account team. For reference:

As the content is encrypted end-to-end it’s very hard to do any DPI into an encrypted stream if you haven’t got the keys. Cisco are working on event based APIs for rooms/spaces to assist in this.

IMO, event based APIs will open up some very interesting automation and bot opportunities for everyone.
