Founded in 2012 and acquired by Symantec in 2017, Watchful Software helped keeping sensitive data safe from accidental or malicious loss or damage.
It’s flagship solution, RightsWATCH, was rebranded into Information Centric Tagging (ICT) inside Symantec's Information Centric Security product suite, was designed to enable businesses to automatically implement security policies for data classification and labeling to meet compliance guidelines. It did it by being both intuitive and seamless for users to leverage, and allowing security policies to be deployed in real time without intervention from either the IT support team or the user.
On the other hand, TypeWATCH was the the second technology owned by Watchful. It was a behavioural biometrics solution which monitored a user’s unique keystroke pattern to identify anomalous behaviour and validate the user’s identity.
