Enhanced File Redirection System for Secure Data Handling in Restricted Process Environments

The client faces difficulties ensuring proper access permissions and security compliance when redirecting files created or downloaded within restricted process environments, such as legacy or security-sensitive applications, leading to errors and operational delays.

A mid-sized enterprise specializing in data management solutions with a focus on secure file processing and compliance.

• Design and implement a file redirection system capable of handling temporary files created by restricted subprocesses, ensuring access permissions are correctly maintained.
• Reduce errors related to file access issues, particularly when handling downloaded or temporarily created files in secure or restricted process contexts.
• Document the technical specifics of restricted process behaviors to inform future projects and system enhancements.
• Enhance overall security posture by ensuring data redirection respects the security information and access controls of source and destination locations.

• File redirection mechanism that detects and correctly handles temporary files created by restricted processes such as legacy applications and Internet Explorer.
• Integration with security policies to preserve access permissions during redirection based on original folder security information.
• Ability to handle various process integrity levels, ensuring files are accessible to authorized processes despite restrictions.
• Configuration support via administrator-defined rules to customize redirection behaviors according to security requirements.

• Security policy frameworks to enforce permissions and integrity levels
• Legacy application environments, such as Internet Explorer or MS Office
• System logging and monitoring tools for auditing redirection activities

• High availability with 99.9% uptime to ensure continuous file access
• Minimal performance impact, with file redirection latency under 200ms
• Robust security controls to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage during redirection
• Scalability to accommodate increasing file volume and process complexity

Implementing this system is expected to significantly reduce file access errors related to temporary files in restricted environments, improve security compliance by maintaining proper access permissions, and enhance operational efficiency. Anticipated outcomes include a decrease in support tickets related to file errors and improved security audit results, ultimately contributing to a more secure and reliable data handling infrastructure.
