Whitelist Policy

There are two ways to create a list of files that will never be matched by the DLP Rule Base:

• Manually add the files to the Whitelist Policy window in SmartConsole.

Files in the list are uploaded to the Security Management Server and not matched against DLP rules. Best Practice - This option is recommended if you only have a small number of files.

• Place the files in a Whitelist Repository on the network.

  Files in this repository are not included in the match.

To add files to the Whitelist:

1. In SmartConsole, select Security Policies > Shared Policies > DLP and click Open DLP Policy in SmartDashboard.

   SmartDashboard opens and shows the DLP tab.

2. From the navigation tree, click Whitelist Policy.
3. In the Whitelist Files section, click Add.
4. Browse to the file.
5. Click Open.

   The file is uploaded to a folder on the Security Management Server.

   Note - For a file not to be included in the DLP match, it must exactly match a file in the whitelist.

6. Click Save and then close SmartDashboard.
7. From SmartConsole, Install Policy.

Defining Email Addresses

In DLP administration you may need to define email addresses or domains that are outside of your network security management.

To define email addresses and domains for use in rules:

1. In SmartConsole, select Security Policies > Shared Policies > DLP and click Open DLP Policy in SmartDashboard.

   SmartDashboard opens and shows the DLP tab.

2. From the navigation tree, click Additional Settings> Email Addresses.
3. Click New.

   The Email Addresses window opens.

4. Enter a Name for this group of email addresses (even if it includes only one address) or domain.
5. Enter the email address or domain.
6. Click Add.

   Add the necessary email addresses and domains for this object.

7. Click OK.
8. Click Save and then close SmartDashboard.
9. From SmartConsole, Install Policy.
