Exact Data Matching (EDM) is an advanced detection tool to monitor and protect sensitive data from exfiltration. Use EDM to detect sensitive and personally identifiable information (PII) such as social security numbers, Medical Record Numbers, bank account numbers, and credit card numbers, in a structured data source such as databases, directory servers, or structured data files (CSV and TSV), with high accuracy. You must first enable EDM for
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
to upload hash encrypted EDM data sets to the DLP cloud services to use as match criteria in advanced data profiles.
It might take 24-48 hours for Palo Alto Networks to enable EDM functionality.
