Predefined Data Patterns

Table of Contents
Predefined regular expression (regex) data patterns available with Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP).
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) provides the following predefined regular expression (regex) data patterns and file property data patterns to all users. Palo Alto Networks also provides usage recommendations based on general business categories for the predefined Enterprise DLP data patterns; Academia, Confidential, Employment, Financial, Government, Healthcare, Legal, Marketing, or Source Code.
Pattern matching using regex is prone to false positive detections due to the nature of broad classifications. Palo Alto Networks combines Large Language Model (LLM) powered detections with context aware ML models to improve the detection accuracy of existing predefined regex data patterns to reduce false positive detections. Predefined data patterns enhanced with an additional layer of LLM-powered ML detection capabilities are marked with Augmented with ML.
For predefined data patterns marked with Augmented with ML, Enterprise DLP uses AI and advanced machine learning (ML) techniques to improve its detection engine when you report a false positive detection. This enables Enterprise DLP to continuously learn from your feedback to reduce false positive detections and increase detection accuracy for yourself and other Enterprise DLP users. For Enterprise DLP to use AI and ML to learn from your false positive detections and improve its detection engine:
  • Files in inspected traffic must be 19 MB and smaller
  • The number of traffic matches per data pattern in the data profile is 100 matches or less
Refer to the Enterprise DLP Reference Guide for more information about the proximity keywords included in predefined data patterns.
