Data control messages showing .pst as file for outlook file attachements

Yugandhar

Hi,

We are using Sophos Data control and configured to allow and log the activity of sending the data through mail clients i.e. MS outlook.

Here the problem is data control evetns are showing with the PST file name for all the attachments through outlook and the source location is showing the PST file location instead of original file attachment location.

Is this the limitation of Sophos Data control. if it is the limitation o the expected behaviour then Sophos Endpoint Data contorl is not a perfect suite for Data protection.

Are there anyone identified this issue/resolve this?

Regards,

Yugandhar

    Hello Yugandhar,

    a roaming user ... showing in logs

    DLP is mainly intended for "inside" use (and, as said, is ideally complemented with a gateway solution). Allow and log is not provided as a full auditing tool. The purpose of DLP is to prevent accidental or at most negligent dissemination of confidential or sensitive data.

    Type rules are general and apply to formats, not (or only indirectly) to specific content. There are only five predefined File rules, the two starting with Encrypt form a pair and must be used together.

    DLP definitely can't help in the case of deliberate transfer (instead of attaching a .txt file with source code it could be sent inline) especially from "outside" endpoints. And even if it were possible to get a copy of transferred/attached files you'd have to copy and review all of them.
