DLP fingerprinting
DLP fingerprinting can be used to detect sensitive data. The file that the DLP profile filters is uploaded and the FortiGate generates and stores a checksum fingerprint. The FortiGate generates a fingerprint for all the files that are detected in network traffic, and compares all the checksums stored in its database. If a match is found, the configured action is taken. Any type of file can be detected by DLP fingerprinting, and fingerprints can be saved for each revision of a file as it is updated.
Using fingerprinting requires:
- Selecting the files to be fingerprinted by targeting a document source.
- Adding fingerprinting filters to DLP profiles.
- Adding the profiles to firewall policies that accept traffic that the fingerprinting will be applied on.
The document fingerprint feature requires a FortiGate that has internal storage. |
To configure a DLP fingerprint document:
config dlp fp-doc-source edit <name> set server-type smb set server <string> set period {none | daily | weekly | monthly} set vdom {mgmt | current} set scan-subdirectories {enable | disable} set remove-deleted {enable | disable} set keep-modified {enable | disable} set username <string> set password <password> set file-path <string> set file-pattern <string> set sensitivity <Critical | Private | Warning> set tod-hour <integer> set tod-min <integer> set weekday {sunday | monday | tuesday | wednesday | thursday | friday | saturday} set date <integer> next end
Command |
Description |
---|---|
server-type smb |

server <string> |

period {none | daily | weekly | monthly} |
Set the frequency that the FortiGate checks the server for new or changed files. |

remove-deleted {enable | disable} |
Enable/disable keeping the fingerprint database up to date when a file is deleted from the server. |
keep-modified {enable | disable} |
Enable/disable keeping the old fingerprint and adding a new one when a file is changed on the server. |
username <string> |
Enter the user name required to log into the file server. |
password <password> |
Enter the password required to log into the file server. |
file-path <string> |
Enter the path on the server to the fingerprint files. |
file-pattern <string> |
Enter the pattern for matching files on the server to be fingerprinted. |
sensitivity <Critical | Private | Warning> |
Set the sensitivity or threat level for matches with this fingerprint database. |
tod-hour <integer> |
Set the hour of the day. This option is only available when |
tod-min <integer> |
Set the minute of the hour. This option is only available when |
weekday {sunday | monday | tuesday | wednesday | thursday | friday | saturday} |
Set the day of the week. This option is only available when |
date <integer> |

To configure a DLP fingerprint profile:
config dlp profile edit <name> config filter edit <id> set proto {smtp | pop3 | imap http-get | http-post | ftp | nntp | mapi} set filter-by fingerprint set sensitivity {Critical | Private | Warning} set match-percentage <integer> set action {allow | log-only | block | quarantine-ip} next end next end
Command |
Description |
---|---|
proto {smtp | pop3 | imap http-get | http-post | ftp | nntp | mapi} |
Set the protocol to inspect. |
filter-by fingerprint |
Set to match against a fingerprint sensitivity. |
sensitivity {Critical | Private | Warning} |
Set the DLP file pattern sensitivity to match. |
match-percentage <integer> |
Set the percentage of the checksum required to match before the profile is triggered. |
action {allow | log-only | block | quarantine-ip} |
Set the action to take with content that matches the DLP profile. |
