Issue/Introduction

How can you limit the retained incident data, for example the SMTP message that triggered an incident?

Resolution

Set up a response rule to limit the retained data:

  1. Create a response rule.
  2. Set the action to "All: Limit Incident Data Retention".
  3. Enable "Discard Original Message" and select which data can be deleted (all, attachments w/ no violations, none).

 

Listed below are the default behaviors for the various DLP Servers: 

  • Endpoint and Endpoint Discover: does not retain original file by default
  • Network Discover:  There is no way to retain the original file
  • All other Servers:  Default behavior is to retain everything
