FortiGuard DLP service

The Data Loss Prevention module in FortiADC integrates with the FortiADC DLP service, allowing FortiADC to download DLP signatures directly from FortiGuard to enrich the FortiADC DLP signature data types. It uses a customizable database of more than 500 predefined data patterns and policies to simplify and expedite DLP deployment and integration into existing environments. The FortiGuard DLP service database undergoes continuous maintenance and updates to stay in sync with the latest advancements in network security intelligence.

By enabling the FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention service in FortiADC, you will have access to a database of predefined DLP patterns such as data types, dictionaries, and sensors. If the HTTP payload or files passing through FortiADC contain data that matches the patterns defined in these dictionaries, FortiADC will initiate specified actions to safeguard the data.
