Exclude URLs and Apps for Non-File Based Traffic

Exclude specific URLs and apps from Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) inspection and verdict rendering for non-file based traffic.
In some cases, you might have use cases where you need to exclude certain URLs and apps from forwarding non-file based traffic to Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP). For example, you might not require Enterprise DLP inspection in the following scenarios:
  • You expect traffic containing sensitive data to specific URLs and apps and want to exclude them from Enterprise DLP incidents.
  • You only want to inspect file based traffic for specific URLs and apps but don't require inspection of non-file based traffic.
  • You identified specific URLs that receive non-file data that isn't user generated and want to exclude these URLs from Enterprise DLP inspection to avoid false positive detections.
You can use an existing Security policy rules to easily exclude these URLs and apps from Enterprise DLP rather than create a new Security policy rule each time you want to exclude specific URLs and apps. This allows you to continue to enforce your data loss prevention requirements for URLs and apps that require it while excluding the URLs and apps that don't. This eases the operational overheard of managing your policy rulebase by reducing the total number of policy rules you need to manage
