Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)

data patterns specify what content is sensitive and needs to be protected—this is the content you’re filtering.

Predefined data patterns

and built-in settings make it easy for you to protect files that contain certain file properties (such as document title or author), credit card numbers, regulated information from different countries (such as driver’s license numbers), and third-party DLP labels.

To improve detection rates for sensitive data in your organization, you can supplement predefined data patterns by creating

custom data patterns

that are specific to your content inspection and data protection requirements. In a custom data pattern, you can also define regular expressions and file properties to look for metadata or attributes in the file’s custom or extended properties and use it in a data filtering profile.
