Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C690 User Guide

The DLP Incidents page shows information on the incidents of data loss 
prevention (DLP) policy violations occurring in outgoing mail. The Cisco 
IronPort appliance uses the DLP email policies enabled in the Outgoing Mail 
Policies table to detect sensitive data sent by your users. Every occurrence of an 
outgoing message violating a DLP policy is reported as an incident. 

Using the DLP Incidents report, you can answer these kinds of questions:

What type of sensitive data is being sent by your users?

How severe are these DLP incidents?

How many of these messages are being delivered?

How many of these messages are being dropped?

Who is sending these messages?

The DLP Incidents page is comprised of two main sections: 

the DLP incident trend graphs summarizing the top DLP incidents by severity 
(Low, Medium, High, Critical) and policy matches, and

the DLP Incidents Details listing.

You can select a time range on which to report, such as an hour, a week, or a 
custom range. As with all reports, you can export the data for the graphs or the 
details listing to CSV format via the Export link or PDF format by clicking the 
Printable (PDF) link. For information about generating PDFs in languages other 
than English, see the
