Overview

New to Symantec DLP 14 we have the ability to do Network Discover Scans (Data at Rest) of content that is stored in Cloud Storage locations.  The first service this is available for is Box.com.

    1. Click on the authorize button
    2. Provide the username and password for the Administrator of your Box.com environment and click Authorize
    3. The DLP system will be authorized for 60 days and after that time the system can be reauthorized
  • Within the Box.com scan we can filter out which files within the Box environment can be scanned within the box.com environment and the filters tab allows us to control this

  • Along with being able to scan a folder on box.com we have the ability to "tag" a file with a response rule and this needs to be enabled in the protect tab of things.
    1. A separate blog post will cover this

Once this is all done, a Cloud Storage Target for Box.com will be configured and setup.  THis target can then be run just like any network discover target.

Do I need a different license for this?

Yes, a license for "Cloud Storage DLP" according to the DLP Licensing Guide.  This is a subscription based license available in a 1-year subscription.
