Data Loss Prevention

Applies To: Locally-managed Fireboxes

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is end-of-life as of 26 February 2025. For Fireboxes that run Fireware v12.11.3, WSM and Fireware Web UI no longer include DLP configuration settings in the user interface. For Fireboxes that run Fireware v12.11.2 or lower, DLP is required by the configuration schema but is no longer functional if your DLP license is expired. For more information, go to this Product and Support News Blog post.

The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) service enables you to detect, monitor, and prevent accidental unauthorized transmission of confidential information outside your network or across network boundaries. The DLP service includes built-in auditing sensors that you can use to monitor compliance with HIPAA or PCI information security requirements. You can also create custom DLP sensors to detect data that matches other content control rules, or create a custom rule to search for specific phrases in network traffic.
