New Data Leakage Protection Capabilities for the Sophos Email Appliance
We are pleased to introduce new, sophisticated data leakage protection policy features for Sophos Email Appliances. You can create rules for monitoring or restricting messages and attachments based on content, filename, or file type; you can reduce accidental data loss by monitoring and restricting the transfer of files containing sensitive data. Content Control Lists (CCLs) provided by SophosLabs provide expert definitions for common financial and personally identifiable data types, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, postal addresses, or email addresses. Advanced techniques are used in SophosLabs CCLs to increase the accuracy of sensitive data detection. The sensitivity of each CCL can be tuned to match your specific requirements.
Alternatively, you can use Sophos Enterprise Console to create your own custom CCLs.
- The new Data Control section on the navigation sidebar lets you access new DLP features. Other policies can
still be configured in the new Additional Policies section, (which
replaces the previous Content section).
- Easy Policy Rule Selection: You can quickly create new policy rules that
correspond to the most common kinds of data leakage protection situations.
- Content Control Lists: Customize your policy rules to catch specific data.
- Customization: Each CCL can be tuned to suit your needs.
- Customization: You can easily configure violation logging, allowing you your
appliance to match information accurately.
- Easy-to-find information: You can use simple, easy to use filters to search
through the extensive selection of content control lists.
- Advanced log search: DLP policy violations can be logged in great detail and in a
variety of ways, for easy comprehension and analysis.
- Detailed quarantine information: Information about DLP violations in quarantined
messages is detailed, and quick and easy to find.
- Other improvements: The capability to send notifications to the postmaster
address has been added.
These new features improve the ease of administering the Email Appliance, and extend its capabilities.
