Introduction

About Data Loss Prevention
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. The included DLP reports help you to evaluate and demonstrate employee compliance with your organization's information security policies.

DLP uses content control rules to identify sensitive content. When DLP identifies content that matches enabled DLP content control rules, the content is treated as a DLP violation. You can choose what action the WatchGuard device takes for DLP violations in email and non-email traffic. You can also configure DLP to take different actions based on the source and destination of the traffic.
