Data Fingerprint Database

One of the ways that you can classify data in Forcepoint DLP is by “fingerprinting” it. This allows the detection of sensitive information despite manipulation, reformatting, or other modification. Fingerprints enable the protection of whole or partial documents, antecedents, and derivative versions of the protected information, as well as snippets of the protected information whether cut and pasted or retyped.

When you fingerprint data, the fingerprints are stored in the Data Fingerprint Database on the Forcepoint management server and pushed to other Forcepoint DLP components for fast analysis on those machines.
