Data Loss Prevention

Hey guys,

We currently don't have any test laptop to use. But basically this is the scenario we want to clarify:

1. Boot a laptop in a network segment where the DLPServer01 are not visible.

2. Install the DLP agent that came from DLPServer01.

I just wanna ask if will the DLP agent start it's services and processes even if it can't see the DLP Server after the initial installation?

Thank you,

yes, it can be installed. However policies will be taken once communication established with the detection server.

Yes, It can be installed , Policies should be fetched by the agent from the endpoint server to perform detection. For this the agent needs to connect the Endpoint server for a few minutes afterwhich it can go offline and work normally.

So after it got installed, it means the services and process will be running right? It will just wait until the dlp server becomes accessible to get updates.?

yes, The agent will be up and running. You can check the services running. But for the agent to perform the detection it will wait to connect to the endpoint server. Once the endpoint server is available it will fetch the policies to perform the detection.
