Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.5.x
In order to perform discovery on a database, the Forcepoint DLP server must be able to connect to the data source over a supported interface. Forcepoint has certified support for the following ODBC-compliant databases:
*
Oracle 10g (ODBC driver 10.1.0.2.0)
*
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32- and 64-bit)
*
Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008, 2012, and 2016
*
Microsoft SQL Server Express (SQL Server Express ODBC driver)
*
IBM DB2 9.5 (ODBC driver 8.2.9)
*
IBM Informix Dynamic Server 11.50 (IBM Informix ODBC driver 3.50)
*
MySQL 5.1 (ODBC driver 5.1.5)
*
Due to MySQL limitations, you must define "string" columns with UTF-8 encoding to fingerprint them.
*
Sybase ASE 15.0 (Sybase ODBC driver 15.0.0.152)
*
Teradata v13 and v14
You can define flexible content policies for each data source. In each policy, you can configure detection rules by combining columns and indicating match thresholds. For best practice, be sure to test database connectivity before configuring content policies.
Forcepoint DLP scans the following database field types:
*
CHAR
*
VARCHAR
*
WCHAR
*
