Abstract
When multiple data loss prevention policies are evaluated sequentially in video conferencing platforms, race conditions and transient configuration states can be introduced. Such sequential applications create brief windows of vulnerability, potentially allowing unauthorized chat access or malicious links before subsequent policies are enforced. Additionally, sequential updates can cause visible flickering in user interface controls. To address these limitations, a method is disclosed wherein policy processing utilizes a single atomic application of a final state. This final state is determined from accumulated settings after all applicable policies are fully processed. Consequently, at most one value is assigned to each setting prior to application. Temporary states are thereby prevented. The primary purpose of this atomic application is to secure communication environments against automated exploits during policy transitions and to maintain stable user interfaces.
