Email DLP now supports scanning emails and attachments up to 150 MB and configuring
message size thresholds and policy actions for oversized content.
Standard email security limits often leave organizations vulnerable to threats hidden
in large attachments that bypass inspection.
Maximum Message Size Settings for Email
DLP addresses this gap by extending scanning capabilities to larger data streams up
to 150 MB allowing you to configure the actions by
Enterprise DLP if a
forwarded email message size exceeds the configured threshold.
The Maximum Message Size Settings assesses total email size, including attachments,
against your configured threshold. If a message remains within limits, Enterprise DLP inspects the email for sensitive data. For emails that exceed
your defined size, Enterprise DLP automatically takes the specified action,
such as Monitor, Block, Quarantine, Encrypt, or Forward for Approval. To ensure
complete visibility, Enterprise DLP logs all events, including skipped messages
and applied actions. Additionally, Enterprise DLP processes archive files
(e.g., .zip, .rar) as part of the total message size, maintaining consistent
security coverage for nested content.
