Creating/editing a DLP sensor
DLP sensors are collections of filters. You must also specify an action for the filter when you create it in a sensor. Once a DLP sensor is configured, you can select it a security policy profile. Any traffic handled by the security policy will be examined according to the DLP sensor configuration.
To create/edit a DLP sensor
1. Go to Security Profiles > Data Leak Prevention.
2. Choose whether you want to edit an exiting sensor or create a new one.
• The default sensor will be the one displayed by default.
• If you are going to edit an existing sensor, selecting it can be done by either using the drop down menu in the upper right hand corner of the window or by selecting the List icon (the furthest right of the 3 icons in the upper right of the window, if resembles a page with some lines on it), and then selecting the profile you want to edit from the list.
• If you need to create a new sensor you can either select the Create New icon (a plus sign within a circle) or select the List icon and then select the Create New link in the upper left of the window that appears.
3. Enter a name in the Name field for any new DLP sensors.
4. Optionally, you may also enter a comment. The comment appears in the DLP sensor list and can remind you of the details of the sensor.
5. At this point you can add filters to the sensor (see adding filters to a DLP sensor) or select OK to save the sensor.
Without filters, the DLP sensor will do nothing.
