Enterprise DLP
Migrator

Migrate your existing data loss prevention policy rules from your old data loss prevention service provider to
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
.
Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
  • SaaS Security
  • One or more Symantec DLP 16.0 policy rules
  • Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
    license
  • SaaS Security
    license
Or the following license that includes the
Enterprise DLP
license
  • Data Security
    license
Use the
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
Migrator to migrate your Symantec DLP policy rules and convert them into
SaaS Security
Data Asset policy rules. This allows you to quickly transition to Palo Alto Networks
Enterprise DLP
without the need to manually recreate all your Data Asset policy rules designed to prevent exfiltration of sensitive data.
To migrate your existing Symantec DLP policy rules, you simply need to export them from Symantec DLP and import them into the
Enterprise DLP
migration tool. The imported Security policy rules are then evaluated to verify that they are compatible with
Enterprise DLP
and
SaaS Security
. When a Symantec DLP policy rule is successfully migrated to
Enterprise DLP
, a data pattern and a classic data profile with names identical to the migrated policy rule are automatically created as part of the migration to capture the traffic match criteria.
If
Enterprise DLP
detects an incompatible Security policy rule traffic match criteria, you can choose to delete the incompatible match criteria from the Symantec DLP policy rule before the migration begins or choose to exclude that specific Symantec DLP policy from migration. A successfully migrated Symantec DLP policy rule is added as a
Disabled
SaaS Security
Data Asset policy rule. You can then review the Data Asset policy rule, make changes if needed, and enable the policy rule.
Enterprise DLP
supports migration of Symantec DLP policy rules in
.xml
format and must be configured with one or more of the following match criteria:
  • Regular expressions
    —A customized expression that defines a specific text pattern to inspect for and block.
  • Keywords
    —Specific words specified to improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives. Referred to as Proximity Keywords in Palo Alto Networks
    Enterprise DLP
    .
  • Data Identifiers
    —The data match criteria added to a Symantec DLP policy rule Referred to as a data pattern in Palo Alto Networks
    Enterprise DLP
    .
  • Response Action
    —Only one Response Action is supported per Symantec DLP policy rule. If
    Enterprise DLP
    detects a Symantec DLP policy rule with more than one Response Action then the Response Action with the highest priority is applied.
    The priority list of Symantec DLP Response Actions is:
    1. Quarantine
    2. Remove Collaboration Action and Remove Collaboration Link
      In
      SaaS Security
      , the Change Sharing
      Action
      in a Data Asset policy rule allows you to remove collaborators and links using one Data Asset policy rule.
    3. Notify Owner
  1. Export your existing Symantec DLP policy rules in
    .xml
    format.
  2. Log in to
    Strata Cloud Manager
    .
  3. Select
    Manage
    Configuration
    SaaS Security
    Settings
    All Settings
    DLP Migration Assistant
    .
  4. Upload the Symantec DLP policy rules to the
    Enterprise DLP
    Migrator.
    1. Enter a descriptive
      Migration Name
      for the Symantec DLP policy rule migration.
    2. In the
      Upload XML Files
      section, drag and drop the Symantec DLP policy rules files in
      .xml
      format.
  5. Import
    the XML files you uploaded to the
    Enterprise DLP
    Migrator.
    Enterprise DLP
    begins to import and analyze your uploaded policy rules to verify compatibility. Continue to the next step once the import status reaches
    100%
    .
  6. Review your uploaded policy rules.
    Enterprise DLP
    lists the number of compatible, partially compatible, and incompatible policy rules from the total number of policy rules uploaded in the previous step.
    • Compatible
      —Policy rule is compatible with
      Enterprise DLP
      and is ready for migration. No further review is needed to prepare the policy rule for migration to
      Enterprise DLP
      .
    • Partially Compatible
      —Policy rule contains one or more traffic match criteria that are incompatible with
      Enterprise DLP
      . Review and delete the incompatible traffic match conditions before you can migrate the policy rule to
      Enterprise DLP
      .
    • Incompatible
      —All traffic match criteria in the policy rule are incompatible with
      Enterprise DLP
      . The Symantec DLP policy rule can't be migrated to
      Enterprise DLP
      .
    The
    Notes
    column displays the specific issue causing the traffic match incompatibility with
    Enterprise DLP
    .
  7. Review and address your
    Partially Compatible
    policy rules.
    Skip this step if you want to only migrate
    Compatible
    rules and don't want to migrate any
    Partially Compatible
    policy rules.
    You can also select multiple
    Partially Compatible
    policy rules to review. If you select multiple policy rules, you must switch between them to address each policy rule individually.
    Enterprise DLP
    Migrator does not support turning an
    Incompatible
    policy rule into a
    Compatible
    policy rule.
    Below is an example of
    Partially Compatible
    Symantec DLP policy rules that need to be reviewed before they can be migrated to
    Enterprise DLP
    .
    1. Select one or more
      Partially Compatible
      policy rules you want to review.
    2. Review Selected
      .
    3. Select the
      Incompatible
      traffic match criteria and
      Delete
      .
      When prompted, confirm you want to
      Delete
      the selected incompatible traffic match criteria.
      If you selected multiple policy rules, use the navigation arrows in the top-right corner of the
      Review Policy
      page and repeat this step until all incompatible traffic match criteria is deleted.
      After you delete all incompatible traffic match criteria from the selected
      Partially Compatible
      policy rules, click the
      X
      in the top-right corner to continue migration to
      Enterprise DLP
      .
    4. The policy rules now show that they are
      Compatible
      and
      Ready to Migrate
      .
  8. Migrate one or more policy rules to
    Enterprise DLP
    .
    1. In the
      Review Policies
      page, select one or more policy rules and
      Migrate to PANW
      .
    2. A verification window is displayed detailing the number of
      Compatible
      policy rules are selected for migration.
      Additionally, you can specify whether these policy rules are automatically
      Enabled
      after successful migration. By default, all migrated policy rules are
      Disabled
      .
    3. Migrate
      the selected policy rules.
    4. A progress bar is displayed detailing the current policy rule migration status.
  9. Your policy rules are now successfully migrated to
    Enterprise DLP
    .
    A summary of the migration operation is displayed. Additionally, you can:
    • Export PDF
      —Export a PDF file of the policy rules you migrated to
      Enterprise DLP
      . This PDF is downloaded to your local device.
    • Migration History
      —Redirected to the view the history of all previous successful policy rule migrations.
    • View Policies
      —Redirected to view your migrated policy rules in the
      SaaS Security
      Data Asset Policies
      to review and enable.
    Click
    View Policies
    to continue to the next step.
  10. Review and enable your migrated policy rules.
    1. After a successful policy rule migration, click
      View Policies
      or select
      Manage
      Configuration
      SaaS Security
      Data Security
      Policies
      Data Asset Policies
      .
      If you manually navigated to the
      SaaS Security
      Data Asset Policies
      , you also need to apply the
      Status: Disabled
      filter.
    2. Click the
      Policy Name
      to review the traffic match criteria and verify it was successfully migrated.
      The Data Asset policy rule name is the same as the Symantec DLP policy rule XML file name you uploaded in the previous step. The following Data Asset policy rule settings are also automatically populated:
      • Description
        —Original Symantec DLP policy rule honored during migration and applied to the new Data Asset policy rule to preserve any important information and descriptions about the policy rule.
      • Data Profile
        Data Pattern/Profile
        match criteria is selected and the
        Data Profile
        created during the migration that contains all the traffic match criteria is attached to the Data Asset policy rule.
        Classic data profiles support predefined, custom, and file property data patterns only.
        If you want to improve
        Enterprise DLP
        detection capabilities and accuracy with advanced detection methods, you must recreate the data profile as an advanced data profile or create a nested data profile. In either case, you must reattach the new data profile to the Data Asset policy rule.
      • Action
        —The
        SaaS Security
        equivalent of the Response Action from the Symantec DLP policy rule.
      You can edit the migrated Data Asset policy rule

      if you made any changes or
      Cancel
      if you reviewed the migrated policy rule match criteria and confirmed no changes are needed.
    3. Expand the
      Action
      column and
      Enable
      the policy rule.
    4. Apply the
      Status: Enabled
      filter and order your policy rule as needed.
      Refer to the Recommendations for Security Policy Rules for more information on how to order your policy rules in your policy rulebase.
    5. Repeat this step for all migrated policy rules.
