Data dictionaries are a collection of one or more keywords or phrases that you want
to detect and prevent exfilitration. A data dictionary is added as a match criteria
alongside the other supported match criteria in advanced and nested data profiles to increase
the Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) detection accuracy.
You can add multiple data dictionaries to a single data profile. For example, you
create an advanced data profile with the OR condition and
multiple match criteria Groups. You can add a unique data
dictionary for each match criteria group to ensure high detection accuracy for each
OR match criteria conditions.
