Hello Cisco Community,

We would like to know what is the use of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Email Encryption in email security.

You can find the answer to this via the User Guide:

DLP -

The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) feature secures your organization’s proprietary information and intellectual property and enforces compliance with government regulations by preventing users from maliciously or unintentionally emailing sensitive data from your network. You define the types of data that your employees are not allowed to email by creating DLP policies that are used to scan outgoing messages for any data that may violate laws or corporate policies.

Email Encryption -

AsyncOS supports using encryption to secure inbound and outbound email. To use this feature, you create an encryption profile that specifies characteristics of the encrypted message and connectivity information for the key server. The key server may either be:

• The Cisco Registered Envelope Service (managed service), or

• An Cisco Encryption appliance (locally managed server)

Next, you create content filters, message filters, and Data Loss Prevention policies to determine which messages to encrypt.

1. An outgoing message that meets the filter condition is placed in a queue on the Email Security appliance for encryption processing.

2. Once the message is encrypted, the key used to encrypt it is stored on the key server specified in the encryption profile and the encrypted message is queued for delivery.

3. If a temporary condition exists that prohibits the encryption of emails in the queue (i.e., temporary C-Series busyness or CRES unavailability), messages are re-queued and retried at a later time.

Hello John,

You can find the steps to enable/setup DLP within the same user guide that Robert has linked on page #431 under section "How to Set Up Data Loss Prevention for Deployments Using RSA Email DLP".

Thanks!

Can ESAV can integrate with DLP and PGP symentic for email encryotion.? How to configure?

Hi Amit,

The ESA currently has no feature availability relating to the PGP Gateway – in terms of integration I do not see any documentation available for the same.
