File Labeling
Forcepoint DLP supports file label detection upon the following conditions:
- The file type is included in the list of files supported for metadata extraction. See Supported File Formats and Size Limits for more information
- The selected labeling system (Microsoft Information Protection or Boldon James) supports the file type.
Note:
Labeling detection for Microsoft Information Protection encrypted files is supported only for the following file types: docx, docm, doc, xlsb, xlsm, xlsx, xlt, xltm, xltx, pptm, pptx, ppsm, ppsx,potm, potx, pdf, dot
Use the page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to view or edit file labeling classifiers.
On this page:
- Click New to add a new file labeling classifier. See Adding or editing a file label section.
- Click a file labeling classifier name to view or edit its properties.
- Select a file labeling classifier, then click Delete to remove the selected classifier.
- When adding a classifier to a policy, optionally select Create Rule from Classifier. See Creating a rule from a content classifier section.
- Refer to the Used in a Policy column to determine whether or not a classifier is used. For classifiers that are in use, click Where Used to view the policies, rules, and exceptions that use the classifier.
If you have not imported labels for Boldon James Classifier or Microsoft Information Protection, a message displays to indicate that you must first import labels before selecting labels for detection. See Configuring file labeling section.
Note: File labeling classifiers do not work for the print channels (network or endpoint) because file labeling information cannot be extracted from printer drivers. They also do not work for
sending email (endpoint).
