Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint - all supported versions For supported environments, see KB68147 - Supported platforms for Data Loss Prevention Endpoint Complete - Windows. SummaryDLP Endpoint has a built-in feature that prevents clipboard data from being blocked between documents that a single Process ID (PID) manages.
Clipboard blocking prevents issues with the program because it might use clipboard functions internally to share data between its own modules, and for usability. Copying data between documents with a common PID isn't considered a security threat.
For example, in Microsoft Word, each document is a child window of the master PID. The user can copy and paste data between these windows even if a clipboard blocking rule is in place. Any tagging or classification data is applied to the new document because DLP Endpoint tracks data copied between documents.
Conversely, a program that spawns a new process for each open document, such as Microsoft Notepad, is blocked for all copy operations, regardless of which document the data is pasted into.
NOTE: The Clipboard Protection rule inspects only text copied from a source to be pasted to another. It won't inspect operations for copying files or folders. Affected ProductsLanguages:This article is available in the following languages: |
