Exact Data Matching (EDM) for

Enterprise DLP

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.

To use EDM, the DLP cloud service relies on the encrypted hash of the sensitive data you upload to the DLP cloud service. The DLP cloud service indexes the encrypted hash of uploaded EDM data sets. To prevent the exfiltration of sensitive data, the DLP cloud service uses the indexed hash data set in the Security policy rule for matching outbound traffic.
