Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C170 Guia Do Utilizador

You can limit the DLP policy to messages with specific attachment types. 
Attachments are first extracted using AsyncOS’s content scanning engine and 
then the content of the attachment is scanned by the RSA Email DLP scanning 
engine. The appliance provides a number of predefined file types for scanning, but 
you can also specify file types that are not listed. If you specify a file type that is 
not predefined, AsyncOS searches for the file type based on the attachment’s 
extension. You can limit RSA Email DLP scanning to attachments with a 
minimum file size in bytes.

If you want to limit a DLP policy to scanning messages containing a specific 
phrase, you can use a message or content filter to search outgoing messages for 
the phrase and insert a custom message tag into the message. When creating a 
DLP policy, select the message tags you want to use for filtering outgoing 
messages. For more information, see 

 and the 

“Using Message Filters to Enforce Mail Policies” in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 
for Email Advanced Configuration Guide.

If RSA Email DLP scanning engine detects a DLP violation, it calculates a risk 
factor score that represents the severity of the violation, ranging from 0 to 100. 
The policy compares the risk factor score to the Severity Scale. The Severity Scale 
includes five severity levels: Ignore, Low, Medium, High, and Critical. The 
severity level determines the actions taken on the message. By default, all severity 
levels (except Ignore) inherit the settings of the higher severity level; the High 
severity level inherits the settings from Critical, Medium inherits from High, and 
Low inherits from Medium. You can edit the level to specify different actions for 
different severities.
