Configuring the Data Loss Prevention Filter

The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) filtering is used to detect sensitive data in Mail Content. Compliance Patterns are best used with structured content, like Social Security Numbers (SSN), credit card numbers (CCN) and telephone numbers.

For example, credit card numbers are typically presented in 16-digit format, "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx", making them good candidates for pattern-based detection.

The DLP rules define different parts of an email message or a database document to be scanned. The DLP filter can perform logical operations of multiple rules to fulfill complicated DLP requirements. Besides, SMDintegrates the latest Trend Micro DLP scan engine, which provides more than 200 predefined DLP templates.

Data Loss Prevention enables you to manage DLP rules, templates, and data identifiers.
