Data Loss Prevention includes over
100 predefined templates and data identifiers that administrators can use to create
Data
Loss Prevention policies. These predefined templates and data identifiers should cover
the majority of a company’s Data Protection needs. Trend Micro recommends using the
built-in items when creating policies.
If the predefined items do not meet a company’s specific needs,
administrators can copy the existing items and modify them accordingly.
Select the desired template or data identifier and click
Copy.
Click the newly created item (<DLP Item>_Copy) to edit the content.
 |
Note
Predefined Data Loss Prevention templates and data identifiers
cannot be modified or deleted.
|
Administrators that require completely new expressions can create
unique expressions using the web console. ScanMail Data Loss
Prevention expressions follow the Perl Compatible Regular Expression
(PCRE) format. Trend Micro recommends testing the user-defined expressions
before implementing the new expression in a Data Loss Prevention
policy.

Tip
Save the expression only if the testing was
successful. An expression that cannot detect any data wastes system
resources and may impact performance.

ScanMail allows
administrators to import and export Data Loss Prevention templates
and data identifiers in DAT files. To edit the contents of a DAT
file, import the items back into the ScanMail environment
first. Modifying the contents of an exported DAT file can cause
data corruption and unusable data.
