Most rules have exceptions.
In TRITON AP-DATA, exceptions and rules are tightly linked.
1.
When there is a transaction, rules are evaluated.
2.
If a rule is matched, its exception is evaluated, if any.
3.
If the exception is matched, the exception action is taken.
In other words, exceptions are evaluated only when their rules are matched.
For example, if:
*
The rule "Pizza" indicates that email messages from John Doe that have the word "pizza" in them should be encrypted.
*
An exception to "Pizza"  indicates that messages that include 5 instances of "pepperoni" should be quarantined.
then messages from John Doe with both "pizza" and 5 instances of "pepperoni" are quarantined.
Unlike rules, exceptions cannot be cumulative.
You can highlight a rule or an exception from the toolbar to add an exception to a rule. On Main under Policy Management, select DLP Policies or Discovery Policies. Click a rule and select Add > Exception from the toolbar.
Like policies, exceptions have levels that define execution priority order. See Rearranging exceptions for information on arranging exceptions.
