Detection of encoding schemas for any DLP service relies on heuristically guessing
the character encoding of a series of bytes that represent text. As a result,
encoding schema detection is recognized as being inherently unreliable. This means
that
Enterprise DLP
may not be able to always detect encoded files. Palo Alto
Networks is continuously working on and improving
Enterprise DLP
's ability to
detect encoded file types to prevent exfiltration of sensitive data.
