Predefined Data Filtering Patterns

Use predefined data patterns to keep sensitive information secure.
To comply with standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the firewall provides predefined data patterns. You can use these patterns to prevent common types of sensitive information, like credit cards and social security numbers, from leaving your network.
You can find predefined data patterns by selecting Objects > Custom Objects > Data Patterns and clicking Add a new object. Then, set the Pattern Type to Predefined Pattern and Add a new rule to the data pattern object. Select a data pattern from the list that appears under Name.
If the type of information you want to protect is not covered in the list of predefined patterns, you can use regular expressions to create custom patterns.
The following is a list of available data patterns:
