Selecting a content classifier

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.5.x

The Conditions tab of the custom policy wizard is used to add content classifiers or email attributes to the policy.

Content classifiers are used to identify account numbers, credit card numbers, industry terms, and similar items as sensitive data.

Attributes are used to identify email components to monitor.

The available content classifiers and attributes are:

Patterns & Phrases classify data by regular expression (regex) patterns, key phrases, dictionaries, and scripts. Regex patterns are used to identify alphanumeric strings of a certain format, such as 123-45-6789.

File Properties classify data by file name, type, or size. File name identifies files by their extension. File type identifies files by their "magic number" (an internal identifier).

Fingerprint files or directories, including SharePoint directories, and database records directly from a database table, Salesforce table, or CSV file.

Use Machine Learning to provide examples of the data that you want to protect, so the system can learn from them and identify items of a similar nature.

Set a Transaction Size to monitor transactions that exceed a size limit, such as email messages more than 10 MB.

Set a Number of Email Attachments to monitor email messages containing multiple attachments.

Set a Number of Email Destinations to monitor email messages being sent to multiple destination domains.
