Configure DLP solution for Domain Blocking and Data Protection

---

This guide explains how to configure the DLP solution for domain blocking and website policy creation to prevent data breaches. The Categories and Domains tab enables restricting access to approved websites, reducing exposure to malicious sites. Admins can set up policies to block the upload of sensitive data, minimizing breach risks. These policies can be tailored by website type or data category, ensuring they meet security standards while allowing flexibility. This approach strengthens data protection and compliance through controlled web access and sensitive data handling.

Prerequisites

There are a couple of things you need to check before you start with the setup:

• You need Administrator access for your DLP dashboard.

Step 1: Steps to configure Website Policy

• Sign in to your DLP dashboard.
  
• On the dashboard, navigate to the left menu panel and then click on Device Policies > Websites > Policy. Then click on Add Policy button.




• Click on the General tab.




• In the General tab, provide a meaningful name for the policy and choose a appropriate risk level.

Note: (The risk level indicates the severity of the policy.)





• Now click on the Next Button.
• In the Domain Restriction tab, select the Block Domains restriction and choose the category you want to block. For example: We've selected the "OTT" category.

Note: ( Domain Categories are groups of domains that you can manage collectively. To create a category, please refer to this section → Domains & Categories )





• In the File Restriction tab, you can set restrictions on file uploads based on their extensions. For example: we're allowing only “.txt” and “.docx” files.



• Click on the Next button and then proceed to the Classification step.
• To enable Classification, check the Apply classification box. If you prefer not to apply classification, leave the box unchecked and skip this step.
• For example: If you enable the Classification then you can set the action to "Block" and then choose the "Passport Numbers" as classification. This classification contains predefined rules to identify passport numbers. When our Agent detects a match in any HTTP request, it will block the request automatically.




• In the next step, you'll Associate Groups to the policy. Start by searching for the Developer Group and selecting it. If you want to apply the same policy to multiple groups, you can select additional groups as well.




• Finally, click on Add button to save the policy.

Step 2: Steps to configure Domains & Categories

• Under the Device Policies tab navigate to the Websites → Domains & Categories. Then click on Add Domain button.




• After clicking the Add Domain button, a category form will open.




• Then choose a suitable Category Name. For instance, in this example, we’re naming the category OTT. To proceed, click “OTT (New Category)” to assign this name.




• Now we will enter domains in this category.




• After entering the domain click on the Add netflix.com button.




• You can add multiple domains in the category as shown in the below image.




• Now click on Save button to save the configurations.
