EDM Support for Hebrew

Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) expands its Exact Data Matching (EDM) capabilities to include Hebrew script support, enabling the detection of Israeli currency, vehicle license plates, and PII.
Exact Data Matching (EDM) forEnterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) is an advanced detection tool designed to monitor and protect structured sensitive data, such as Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, and bank account info. To support global enterprises and regional compliance requirements, Enterprise DLP has expanded its EDM data set formats to include Hebrew script support.
The detection engine supports the full Hebrew alphabet, including the distinct "final form" (Sofiot) characters used at the end of words. This capability enables the detection engine to identify and protect personally identifiable information (PII) written in Hebrew script, such as names and other identifiable data. Additionally, Enterprise DLP recognizes regional identifiers unique to the Israeli market, such as the New Israeli Shekel (ILS/NIS, ₪) in various symbol and code formats. Enterprise DLP also supports Israeli vehicle license plates in both 7-digit legacy (XX-XXX-XX) and current 8-digit (XXX-XX-XXX) formats. This expanded support is critical for organizations in sectors such as insurance, fleet management, and law enforcement that handle sensitive Israeli data and require consistent protection across email, web, and file transfers.
While this expanded support improves regional coverage, certain limitations apply to the current Hebrew script support. Date processing is restricted to Gregorian numeric formats; traditional Hebrew calendar months and years are not currently supported. Similarly, email address detection remains limited to Latin script, and regional identity identifiers continue to follow USA-specific formats.
