Controlling copy-paste

Prev Next

Clipboard protection rules manage content copied with the Windows clipboard. They are supported on Trellix DLP Endpoint for both Windows and macOS.

Clipboard protection rules are used to block or request justification for copying sensitive content from one application to another. The rule can define both the application copied from and the application copied to, or you can write a general rule specifying any application for either source or destination. Supported browsers can be specified as applications. The rule can be filtered with an end-user definition to limit it to specific users. As with other data protection rules, exceptions to the rule are defined on the Exceptions tab.

By default, copying sensitive content from one Microsoft Office application to another is allowed. If you want to block copying within Microsoft Office, disable the Microsoft Office clipboard in the Windows client configuration and in the Mac OS X client configuration.
