About DLP Resources

The Zscaler service automatically supports Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud for macOS, and OneDrive personal cloud storage accounts. No extra configuration is available for those services as DLP resources.

Creating a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) resource is the first step in setting up an Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy. You can use the resources you create to configure an Endpoint DLP policy that protects your organization from data loss by monitoring and taking action on sensitive data that end users interact with on endpoints (i.e., printing, saving to removable storage, saving to network shares, or uploading to personal cloud storage accounts). The DLP resources are associated with rules that use Zscaler custom and predefined DLP engines to detect sensitive data, allow or block activities, and notify your organization's auditor when a user's activity on an endpoint triggers an Endpoint DLP rule.

To learn more, see Step-by-Step Configuration Guide for Zscaler Endpoint DLP.

DLP resources provide the following benefits and allow you to:

  • Create rules to monitor and prevent the leakage of sensitive data on endpoints.
  • Monitor printing, saving to removable storage, saving to network shares, and saving to personal cloud storage accounts.
  • Use Zscaler custom and predefined DLP engines to detect and take action on sensitive data.
