Custom Classifiers

A custom list of classifiers are meant for monitoring data transfer through a channel. It is a tailored set of rules or criteria used to identify and categorize specific types of data as they move through communication channels within a network. These classifiers help in detecting, analyzing, and controlling data transfers to ensure security, compliance, and efficient data management.
By using a custom list of classifiers to monitor data transfer, organizations can enhance their data security posture, prevent data leaks, and ensure compliance with data protection standards.
To Add/Import the list of classifiers, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Add/Import from the drop-down list values.
  2. Enter the details in the Classifier Name, Classifier, and Description text boxes.
  3. Click Add. Click Save Policy.

  4. To import the dat file, save the list of classifiers in a dat file on a desired path. Import the dat file.
  5. The added classifiers can now be used from the Policies > Data Loss Prevention > Data Settings > Confidential Data > Monitor Confidential Data.
    Similarly, the added list can also be exported/deleted.
