Worry-Free Services evaluates a file or data against
a set of rules defined in DLP policies. Policies determine files or data that requires
protection
from unauthorized transmission and the action that Worry-Free Services performs after detecting a transmission.

Description
|
||
|
Rules
|
A DLP rule can consist of multiple templates, channels, and
actions. Each rule is a subset of the encompassing DLP policy.
|
||
|
Templates
|
A DLP template combines data identifiers and logical
operators (And, Or, Except) to form condition statements. Only files or data that
satisfy a
certain condition statement are subject to a DLP rule.
A DLP rule can contain one or several templates. Data Loss
Prevention uses the first-match rule when checking templates. This means that if a
file or
data matches the data identifiers in a template, Data Loss Prevention no longer checks
the
other templates.
|
||
|
Channels
|
Channels are entities that transmit sensitive information.
Data Loss Prevention supports popular transmission channels, such as email, removable
storage devices, and instant messaging applications.
|
||
|
Actions
|
Data Loss Prevention performs the specified action when it detects an
attempt to transmit sensitive information through any of the channels.
|
||
|
Exceptions
|
Exceptions act as overrides to the configured DLP rules. Configure
exceptions to manage non-monitored targets and compressed file scanning.
