Sophisticated threat actors often bypass traditional content-based data loss prevention (DLP) controls by embedding sensitive information within file names, exploiting a critical blind spot in data security. The Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) File Name Detection capability solves this security gap by extending Enterprise DLP detection capabilities directly to file names for sensitive patterns such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and other personally identifiable information (PII).

By expanding detection to include both file contents and file names for custom data profiles, Enterprise DLP strengthens your organization's data security posture against sophisticated data exfiltration techniques. File Name Detection provides cumulative detection across both data locations, meaning any matches found in either the content or the file name contribute immediately to triggering your Security policy rule. This comprehensive approach, applied uniformly across inline Enterprise DLP, Email DLP, and Endpoint DLP, ensures that security teams maintain full visibility and control.
