Data Loss Prevention

TMWS provides Data Loss Prevention (DLP) profiles to make it easier to track and document sensitive data, and safeguard your organization's confidential information against accidental disclosure and intentional theft.

Administrators can add DLP profiles to scan outbound HTTP traffic for content including sensitive data and apply them to cloud access rules for enhanced protection.

Note:

This feature is not available for the Standard license. To use this feature, purchase an Advanced license, or you can purchase an add-on license to upgrade your service to the Advanced (Standard plus add-on) license.
