What is clipboard control?
Clipboard control is a feature of the browser DLP solution that lets you manage how users copy and paste data within the NordLayer Browser.
Organizations can use it to either block all copy-and-paste actions or create granular policies that allow doing so only in approved web applications, domains, or user groups. This helps prevent the exposure of sensitive data in unsanctioned SaaS and AI tools and personal accounts.
How does in-browser clipboard control work, exactly?
Unless copy/paste is fully disabled, the feature evaluates each clipboard action against predefined organizational policies. When a user tries to copy or paste content in the browser, the clipboard control does the following:
- Checks the source (where the data is copied from)
- Identifies the destination (where the data is being pasted)
- Applies rules based on the domain, application, or user group
- Blocks or allows the clipboard action
