Data protection rules monitor and control user content and activity.
Data protection rules must specify at least one classification. The classification identifies the content as sensitive or not, and determines accordingly what can be done with the content. Other definitions in the rule act as filters to determine which files are monitored.
Data protection rules are supported differently by the different Trellix DLP applications.
Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows supports all data protection rules.
Trellix DLP Endpoint for Mac supports application file access, network share, removable storage protection rules, and email protection rules.
Trellix DLP Network Prevent supports email and web protection rules.
Trellix DLP Network Monitor supports email, web, and network communication protection rules.
Note
Trellix DLP Network Monitor is a passive device that reports on detected incidents but does not block or modify the data.
