Email DLP Enhancements

Email DLP now supports encrypting emails sent from a Gmail, support for nested email attachment inspection, and notifying email senders when their email contains sensitive data.
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
has introduced the following enhancements to Email DLP to strengthen your security posture when inspecting outbound emails from your organization to prevent exfiltration of sensitive data.
  • If you need to send an outbound email containing sensitive data, you can now forward outbound Gmail and Microsoft Exchange emails to your Proofpoint server to encrypt emails on its way to the target recipient if
    Enterprise DLP
    detects sensitive data. Encrypting outbound emails containing sensitive data prevents email messages from being read by an unintended or unauthorized individual.
  • Email DLP now supports inspection of
    .eml
    files and up to five levels of nested
    .eml
    email files.
    Enterprise DLP
    can only nested
    .eml
    files, and cannot inspect any other supported file types that may contain nested files.
  • (
    Microsoft Exchange only
    ) You can now configure
    Enterprise DLP
    to send an email notification to the outbound email sender in an Email DLP policy rule when
    Enterprise DLP
    detects sensitive data to immediately notify email senders when their email was not sent out to their intended recipient due to data security violation. For example, this notification allows an email sender that erroneously sent an outbound email containing sensitive to modify their email and resend it.
    This applies to Email DLP policy rules where the response
    Action
    is
    Forward email for approval to end user's manager
    ,
    Forward email for approval to admin
    , or
    Quarantine
    .
