    Supported Detection Methods

    Match criteria techniques that Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) uses to identify sensitive data, including data patterns, OCR, and exact data matching.
    Review the list of Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) detection methods. Detection methods are traffic match criteria techniques used by Enterprise DLP to inspect for and prevent exfilitration of sensitive data. Detection methods can be added alongside any combination of predefined, custom regex, or file property data patterns in an advanced data profile.
