Protecting Data by Keyword

You can create a list of keywords that to match them against data transmissions. Transmissions that contain this list of words in their data are matched. You specify how to match it (based on an ALL or ANY option).

To create a Data Type representation of specified keywords:

  1. In the Data TypeClosed Classification of data in a Check Point Security Policy for the Content Awareness Software Blade. Wizard, select Keywords.

  2. Click Next.

  3. In the Specify Keywords window, enter a keyword to protect.

  4. Click Add.

  5. Enter as many keywords or phrases as you want in this data type.

    You must go for one of these options to match data:

    • If all the keywords in this list are matched.

    • If only one match is enough.

    • If a specific number of keywords is matched.

    For example, if you want to ensure that no one can send an email that contains the names of congressmen in a committee, make their names the keywords, and your options are - the Threshold to At least 1. The higher the threshold, the more precise the results are.

    If you want to allow emails that mention the congressmen, but decide that all of their names in one email are suspicious, then set Threshold to All words must appear.
