Predefined Data Pattern Keywords

Review the proximity keywords and other importation information for predefined data patterns included with Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP).
On May 7, 2025, Palo Alto Networks is introducing new Evidence Storage and Syslog Forwarding service IP addresses to improve performance and expand availability for these services globally.
You must allow these new service IP addresses on your network to avoid disruptions for these services. Review the Enterprise DLP Release Notes for more information.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Managed by Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) license
    Review the Supported Platforms for details on the required license for each enforcement point.

Review the proximity keywords and other important information for predefined data patterns included with Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP). You use predefined data patterns in your data profiles to specify how you want to enforce the sensitive content that you’re filtering. Predefined data profiles have predefined data patterns that include industry-standard data identifiers, keywords, and built-in logic in the form of machine learning, regular expressions, and checksums.
Palo Alto Networks introduced the new regionalized proximity keywords in February 2025 for the predefined data patterns listed in this reference guide and Palo Alto Networks automatically updates the keywords configured in these predefined data patterns. If you added any of these predefined keywords to a data profile before February 2025, you must push your Enterprise DLP configuration to your NGFW and Prisma Access tenants to begin using them to match sensitive data.

  • Partial configuration push from Panorama
    You must always include the temporary __dlp administrator when performing a partial configuration push. This is required to keep Panorama and the DLP cloud service in sync.
    For example, you have an admin Panorama admin user who is allowed to commit and push configuration changes. The admin user made changes to the Enterprise DLP configuration and only wants to commit and push these changes to managed firewalls. In this case, the admin user is required to also select the __dlp user in the partial commit and push operations.
    1. Select CommitCommit to Panorama.
    2. Select Commit Changes Made By and then click the current Panorama admin user to select additional admins to include in the partial commit.
      In this example, the admin user is currently logged in and performing the commit operation. The admin user must click admin and then select the __dlp user. If there are additional configuration changes made by other Panorama admins they can be selected here as well.
