Protecting cloud uploads

Cloud protection rules manage files uploaded to cloud applications. They are supported on Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows and Trellix DLP Endpoint for Mac

Cloud applications are increasingly used to back up and share files. Most cloud applications create a special folder on the drive that synchronizes with the cloud server. Trellix DLP Endpoint intercepts file creation in the cloud application folder, scans the files, and applies the relevant policies. If the policy allows synchronizing the file to the cloud application folder, and the file is later changed, it is rescanned and the policy reapplied. If the changed file violates a policy, it cannot be synchronized to the cloud.

The Trellix DLP Endpoint Cloud Protection Rule supports:

Note

iCloud and Syncplicity are not supported on Trellix DLP Endpoint for Mac.

To improve scanning speed, you can specify the top-level subfolders included or excluded in the rule.
