Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention on mobile computing systems may include (1) identifying a mobile computing system configured to execute only one application at a time as a foreground application, (2) determining that the mobile computing system has begun executing a sensitive application as the foreground application, (3) identifying a first enumeration of screenshots stored on the mobile computing system when the mobile computing system began executing the sensitive application as the foreground application, (4) identifying a second enumeration of screenshots stored on the mobile computing system, (5) determining that at least one new screenshot was taken on the mobile computing system while the sensitive application was the foreground application by detecting a difference between the first enumeration and the second enumeration, and (6) performing a security action upon detecting the difference. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
