CacheCleaner
Overview
The CacheCleaner software utility is a virtual shredder, used to erase all traces of sensitive data created by a browser. Fully configurable, it can be set to activate on demand, after a browser or OS crash, an inactivity timeout or at the end of a session. CacheCleaner is ideal for adding security to an SSL VPN gateway or any situation which requires that users are protected from data theft. Additionally, this lightweight executable adds privacy assurance to users accessing sensitive web pages on shared computers.
Why Should I Employ CacheCleaner in My Solution?
CacheCleaner is perfect for eliminating sensitive data stored in the browser's cache at the end of a browser session or other configurable events which deletion desired or imperative. Common use cases where this would be important include:
- Users who access their employer's resources and data via SSL VPN.
- Users accessing websites and SAAS services that contain sensitive data (e.g. online banking, online CRMs).
- Users using "public" computers (e.g. airport kiosks, hotel business center PCs, Internet cafes, etc.)
In each of the above cases, CacheCleaner can be used to delete end users log-in credentials, end user account data as well as data considered sensitive by the end users' employer or service provider.
And, because CacheCleaner is configurable, the scope of and triggers for deletion can be set by the solution provider, eliminating the need for the end user to take any special actions to ensure their own security. Use this technology to build browser cache cleaning into your solution via SDK.
How Does CacheCleaner Work?
CacheCleaner starts monitoring when it detects that the user has accessed a specified domain. Alternately, an administrator can use a wildcard and Cache Cleaner will monitor everything.
