Use these Data Leak Prevention options to search for medical terminology in messages and take actions on those messages based on scoring criteria. A list of almost 2000 medical terms is predefined for you, and you can add custom terms or remove terms as you see fit. Each term is assigned a score, and messages are scanned for matching terms and then the sum of the scores is calculated. Then a specified action is performed on messages when the calculated score is greater than or equal to a defined threshold. You can choose to quarantine messages and to use the RMail Encryption Service on them. You can also choose to exclude inbound and local messages from the medical term search. |
Configuration
Check mail sent for medical terms
Check this box if you wish to scan messages for medical terms. Each term is assigned a score and the message's total score will determine what action, if any, is taken regarding the message.
Administrative Quarantine messages with score greater or equal to [xx]
When this option is enabled and a message's medical terms score meets or exceeds this value, then the message will be moved to the Administrative Quarantine.
Use RMail Encryption Service for messages with score greater or equal to [xx]
When this option is enabled and a message's medical terms score meets or exceeds this value, then your RMail Encryption Service options will be used for the message.
Exclude Inbound Messages (recipient is a local user and sender is not a local user of the same domain)
This option will exclude incoming messages from the medical terms search when the recipient is a local user and the sender is not a local user of the same domain.
Exclude Internal Messages (sender and recipient are local users of the same domain)
This option will exclude messages from the medical terms search when both the sender and recipient are local users of the same domain.
