Administrators can access the Classifiers in the cloud portal by navigating to Policy > Policy Elements > Classifiers.

  5. File properties

    The classified data is often stored in specific file formats, such as PGP (encrypted) or Excel (xlsx). Use file type and file name classifiers to block the distribution of this information. Data can also be classified by file size.
