New Features

The current CA DLP Network releases include the following enhancements:

Support for Linux Server Platform

CA DLP Network 14.0 runs on commodity rack servers running CentOS 6.0.

Confirm that the server matches the documented Linux server hardware specification. Install the CentOS Operating System from the image that you download from the CA Support site.

Full instructions for installing and configuring CA DLP Network 14.0 are included in the CA DLP Network Implementation Guide.

Support for Bivio 7000 Appliances

CA DLP Network r12.5 now runs on Bivio 7000 appliances. The hardware configuration for these appliances includes four pairs of data inspection ports. This lets you monitor traffic on up to four separate network segments using a single Bivio 7000 appliance.

If Upgrading From Version r12.0

If you are upgrading from CA DLP Network 12.0, note the following new features:

Set up Filters in CA DLP Network Console

(Bivio 7000 appliances only) If upgrading from version 12.0, be aware that you can now configure network filters and application filters in the CA DLP Network Console. You no longer need to edit nbapolicy.xml directly.

Use Direction to Filter SMTP Email Captures

You can set up application filters to capture outbound or inbound SMTP emails. That is, you can separately target emails sent from or to specific computers:

Use the SMTPSRC protocol to identify emails sent from specific IP addresses.

Use the SMTPDEST protocol to identify emails sent to specific IP addresses.

NNTP News Events Captured As Emails

CA DLP can capture and apply policy to messages posted to or read from newsgroups. CA DLP applies Outgoing Email policy triggers to these NNTP news events.

Attachments are now correctly captured and displayed.

CPU Screen Shows Current Network Traffic Rates

The CPU screen in the CA DLP Network Console has been enhanced to include a 'MBits/sec' column. This column shows rates of network traffic passing through each Application Processor CPU on the Bivio appliance.
