The Data Loss Prevention policy can monitor or block data being uploaded to the web. The policy discovers and protects the sensitive data contained in your cloud-sanctioned applications. Umbrella scans all files uploaded through the Umbrella SWG proxy that match the Real Time rules’ criteria, as well as the files stored in the Umbrella authorized cloud tenants and performs a deeper analysis. This section lists the file types and formats supported and not supported by the Real Time DLP rules.
