OfficeScan evaluates
a file or data against a set of rules defined in DLP policies. Policies
determine files or data that must be protected from unauthorized
transmission and the action that
OfficeScan performs
when it detects transmission.

Note
Data transmissions between the OfficeScan server
and its clients are
not monitored.

You can configure policies for internal and external clients. OfficeScan administrators
typically configure a stricter policy for external clients.
You can enforce specific policies to client groups
or individual clients.
You can also enforce a single policy to all clients.
After you deploy the policies,
clients use
the location criteria you have set in the
Computer Location screen (see Computer Location) to determine their location and the policy
to apply.
Clients switch
policies each time the location changes.
