Strengthen your security posture to prevent accidental data misuse, loss, or theft by enabling optical character recognition (OCR) for
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
. Enabling OCR allows the DLP cloud service to scan files with images containing sensitive information that match your
Enterprise DLP
data profiles.
OCR isn’t supported for Microsoft Visio XML drawing (.vdx) files that need to be rendered in order to display. For example, OCR can’t inspect a .vdx file if the XML is the drawing representation.
