Because classified data is often stored in specific file formats—such as PGP (encrypted) or Excel (xlsx)—TRITON AP-DATA enables you to block the distribution of this information by defining file-type and file-name classifiers. You can also classify data by file size.
Tip
For a list of file types that TRITON AP-DATA supports, see
Supported File Formats
.
File-type classifiers group like files together. For example, office documents and pictures are 2 types of files. You can create a new file type classifier or add files to the existing file type classifiers. (Refer to
File-type classifiers
for details about each predefined file-type classifier.)
File-name classifiers identify files by file-name extension (such as *.docx) or the file name itself (such as myfile*.doc). Because end users can change the extension of files, this is a less secure means of identifying files.
File-size classifiers identify files by their size.
Note
File properties classifiers do not work for the print channels (network or endpoint), because file property information cannot be extracted from printer drivers.
