How IM Security Data Loss Prevention works

IM Security performs the following tasks when an instant message or file transfer occurs:
  1. Scans the instant message or file and evaluates the content against the Data Loss Prevention rules defined by the administrator.
    IM Security evaluates all enabled Data Loss Prevention rules to determine if a template match occurred.
  2. Applies the Data Loss Prevention action for any triggered rule.
    IM Security takes the action that the administrator specified on the DLP Policies screen under Delivery Option.
  3. Sends notifications to the administrator or contacts.
    IM Security allows you to notify administrators, or the Lync client contacts involved in the sensitive data transfer, through email, IM, SNMP, or Windows Event log.
