General configuration steps
Follow the configuration procedures in the order given. Also, note that if you perform any additional actions between procedures, your configuration may have different results.
1. Create a DLP sensor.
New DLP sensors are empty. You must create one or more filters in a sensor before it can examine network traffic.
2. Add one or more filters to the DLP sensor.
Each filter searches for a specific data pattern. When a pattern in the active DLP sensor appears in the traffic, the FortiGate unit takes the action configured in the matching filter. Because the order of filters within a sensor cannot be changed, you must configure DLP in sequence.
3. Add the DLP sensor to one or more firewall policies that control the traffic to be examined.
