Use file attributes in conjunction with other identifiers to detect sensitive files.
File attributes are specific properties of a file. You can use two file attributes
when
defining data identifiers, namely, file type and file size. For example, a software
development
company may want to limit the sharing of the company's software installer to the R&D
department, whose members are responsible for the development and testing of the software.
In
this case, the Trend Vision One administrator
can create a policy that blocks the transmission of executable files that are 10 to
40 MB in size
to all departments except R&D.
By themselves, file attributes are poor identifiers of sensitive files. Continuing
the example
in this topic, third-party software installers shared by other departments will most
likely be
blocked. Trend Micro therefore recommends combining
file attributes with other DLP data identifiers for a more targeted detection of sensitive
files.
