Data Loss Prevention

We would like to configure a notification box that kindly notifies them to be mindful of what they are copying to external storage whenever a file is being sent to a USB device.  Obviously we don't want to block such actions, or else we would do this through GPO, but we just want to create more awareness.

It's a simple policy to setup except one thing....since each file being sent to a USB drive is generating another "incident" as I"m testing this, the pop-up box comes up once for every file transferred.  Clearly that's a terrible user experience and we won't deploy that to the organization....but one notification for the first file would be great.

Can anybody advise as to how to accomplish?

Hi Christopher,

DLP Policy should be such that it identifies confidential/senstive information and subsequently on your users endpoints whenever they are transferring files they will not get a popup every time rather they will only get a popup when they are transferring confidential information. In the intial stages, you would be notifying them, raising their awareness and you would be getting visibility of the confidential/sensitive files usage. Afterwards you could implement blocking rules if needed/required.

The popups will not come up every time a file is transferred only when the confidential/sensitive information identified in the DLP Policy is transferred will the popup come up. Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Christopher..

Keep in mind that the USER can check the box at the bottom of the pop-up to use the same response for all of the subsquent pop-ups from the same transmission.

Also there may be a setting in the Agent Conifugration (Advanced) where you can set the number of pop-up in a specific amount of time. Try the following and see how it works..

Make sure to apply the configuration to the Servers.

Good Luck
