Data security administrators face a critical challenge when an organization runs complex email security architectures that extend beyond Microsoft and Google Cloud environments. Traditional Email DLP solutions force you to choose between comprehensive data protection and maintaining your existing multivendor security investments, leaving dangerous gaps where sensitive data can leak or spoofing attacks can succeed.

Custom Routing for Email DLP enables your data security administrators to integrate Email DLP into any email infrastructure for Microsoft Exchange and Gmail. You can now deploy Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) scanning within SMTP relay chains that include third-party security products like Proofpoint or Mimecast, on-premises Exchange servers, or hybrid cloud environments. Custom routing enables your data security administrators to configure specific next-hop mail servers and custom ports for each domain in your organization, ensuring emails flow correctly through your established security chain while receiving comprehensive Enterprise DLP scanning. By using custom routing, you gain robust antispoofing protection through dual validation mechanisms. Email DLP can restrict email acceptance to authorized source IP addresses, supporting up to 20 IP addresses or subnets.

Comprehensive audit logging tracks all configuration changes, providing the compliance visibility you need for regulatory requirements. With custom routing, you can implement Email DLP without disrupting your existing email security investments or requiring extensive infrastructure changes, protecting sensitive data across your entire email ecosystem while maintaining the multilayered security approach your organization has already established.
