  • 1.  Filename Exclusions

    Posted Aug 22, 2017 01:31 PM
    We have a use case where we want to ignore filenames that start with image00* and att00* from a specific rule, but continue to check for rule trigges with other filenames. I’m afraid if I create a filename exclusion.. once DLP sees that filename it will exclude ALL the policy rules for that whole message.
     
    Am I understanding the logic right or is there another way around it?
     
    Example:
     
    A “123ABC” Policy that has a DCM rule which matches the word 123ABC In ANY attachment except for attachments that start with the name image00* or att00*.
     
    testing.txt = "This is a test document 123ABC"
    att0001.txt = "Another test document"
    image001.jpg = Test Image
     
    Example message 1:
    Attachment Name: testing.txt
    Outcome: Alert because testing.txt is a valid filename
     
    Example message 2: 
    Attachment Name: att0001.txt
    Outcome: No Alert because att0* is excluded.
     
    Example message 3: 
    Attachment Name: image001.jpg
    Outcome: No Alert because image0* is excluded.
     
    Example message 4:
    Attachment Name: testing.txt & att0001.txt
    Outcome: Alert because testing.txt is a valid filename
     
    Example message 5:
    Attachment Name: testing.txt & att0001.txt & image001.jpg
    Outcome: Alert because testing.txt is a valid filename

    Hello,

    That's right; the exceptions are at a higher level and will be excluded from all the detections listed in the policy.

    You can always split the detections into several policies and you wont have problems.
