Configure Content Classifiers for Data Security (DLP Lite)

Use the Web > Policy Management > Content Classifiers page to classify your data using custom phrases, dictionaries, or regular expressions containing business-specific terms or data. This can help to prevent the loss of intellectual property or sensitive data over the web.

Once content classifiers are defined, select the classifiers that you want to enable for the policy using the Data Security tab in the policy. (See Custom for instructions.)

You can use more than one classifier in your policies to reduce false positives.


	Note The total number of content classifiers you can create in your account is 100.

To edit or view a content classifier

Click a classifier name to view details on the classifier.

Use the Edit screen to modify the name, description, or value of the classifier. You cannot edit its type.

Click OK when you're done.

To delete a content classifier

Select one or more classifiers.

Click Delete.

When asked if you are sure you want to delete the classifiers, click Yes.


	Note You cannot delete classifiers that are being used in a policy. You must remove the classifier from all the web policies that use it before you can delete it.

To define a new content classifier

Click Add and select one of the following:

Regular expression: used to describe a set of search criteria based on syntax rules. For example: (abc{21,40}){1,30}

See Regular expression content classifiers.

Key phrase: a keyword or phrase that indicates sensitive or proprietary data (such as product code names or patents).

See Key phrase content classifiers.

Dictionary: a container for words and expressions relating to your business.

See Dictionary content classifiers.

Complete the fields, and then click OK.

Instructions for completing the fields for each classifier type is provided in the topics referenced in step 1.

Repeat steps 1-2 until you've added all the classifiers you require.
