Box announced the addition of automated classification to Box Shield on Tuesday.
"As people are working from home, security has become one of the top considerations for IT departments. People used to be inside the corporate network, inside of a firewall. Now the perimeter is actually moved to your house. You could be accessing content from your personal device, where as an organization, you might not have the level of security capabilities that device has," said Varun Parmar, chief product officer at Box.
Box Shield and its auto classification feature are able to solve for both of those concerns, automatically assessing a device's security and making sure that device is compliant with various standards.
"Box and auto classification Shield will do all the heavy lifting in terms of enforcing a set of security controls," Parmar added.
Box added malware detection to Box Shield in April, and announced an improved Device Trust in May. The new Box Shield automated classification capabilities will roll out over the next month.
