Encrypt Policy Action

CA DLP can now identify sensitive e-mails and automatically flag them for encryption before they are sent, or to identify sensitive files and encrypt them before they are copied to a removable device.

• Encrypting files: You can set up a control action to encrypt an unencrypted file when a user attempts to copy it to a removable device such as a USB drive. CA DLP also copies a utility onto the device to enable the user to decrypt the file when they want to copy it from the device onto another computer.
• Encrypting emails: You can set up an Outgoing Email control action to add an 'encryption request' x-header to an outgoing unencrypted email. This x-header indicates to third-party encryption providers that the email must be encrypted before it is sent.

  Note: This feature requires that a third party encryption provider is available on your network.
