Our DLP feature gives you the powerful tools you need to comply with government regulations and prevent the loss of sensitive private data.
Many organizations handle increasing amounts of confidential data on a daily basis. However the technologies that make this data easy to access and share also increase the risk of unauthorized disclosure and loss of sensitive, protected data. This has potentially serious consequences, including financial penalties, customer dissatisfaction and increased regulatory scrutiny that can cause significant damage to your business and brand reputation.
Q. What is Data Loss Protection (DLP)?
A: DLP, part of EdgeWave Email Security is an automatic surveillance system that consistently watches computer activity on your outgoing email (SMTP) traffic being generated by servers, desktop and laptop computers. EdgeWave DLP protects confidential data by identifying and securing it to prevent security policy violations and maintain regulatory compliance. EdgeWave DLP gives you the powerful tools you need to comply with government and industry regulations, such as SOX, FINRA, PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH and GLBA.

A: DLP monitors and prevents the loss of all types of private data, including:

- Social Security Numbers
- Credit Card Numbers
- Profanity (Optional)
Q. What will happen if DLP detects confidential information?

Q. Will my email be blocked?
A: In most deployments, DLP is configured to block or quarantine any outgoing message containing confidential information.

blocked by the DLP?
