Classifying by file destination

Prev Next

In addition to classifying content by its originating location, you can classify and control where content is being sent. In data loss prevention parlance, this is known as data-in-motion.

File protection rules controlling destinations include:

  • Cloud Protection rules

  • Email Protection rules

  • Network Communication Protection rules (outgoing)

    Note

    Data Network Communication Protection rules can be incoming or outgoing or both. For classifying by destination only outgoing rules are relevant.

  • Printer Protection rules

  • Removable Storage Protection rules

  • Web Protection rules

Protecting email content with classifications

Trellix DLP Endpoint protects sensitive data in email headers, body, or attachments when emails are sent. Email storage discovery detects emails with sensitive data in OST or PST files and either tags or quarantines them.

Trellix DLP Endpoint protects sensitive content in email by adding content classifications to content and blocking emails with sensitive content from being sent. The email protection policy can specify different rules for different users and email destinations, or for emails protected with encryption or Rights Management. Rules can be enabled for Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows, Trellix DLP Network Prevent, or both. Manual classifications added by Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows users are supported by Trellix DLP Network.
