Policy Engines Overview

Policy engines can process events such as emails or files arriving from an external source and apply policy triggers to these events. Typically, events are allocated to individual policy engines by a policy engine hub. Policy engines enable CA Data Protection to integrate directly with:

Email servers

Policy engines can apply policy to emails intercepted by email server agents allow CA Data Protection to monitor and control email activity that would otherwise be missed by Outlook and Notes endpoint integration alone.

CA Data Protection supports email server agents for Exchange, Domino, SMTP servers, Sendmail, and Postfix.

Archive solutions

Policy engines can apply policy to emails sent from a CA Data Protection archive agent and apply smart tags (typically an email category and a retention date) before the emails are archived.

CA Data Protection can integrate with Autonomy ZANTAZ, Symantec Enterprise Vault, and EMC SourceOne.

Scanned items

Policy engines can apply policy to items scanned by the File Scanning Agent (FSA).

Imported files, emails, and IM conversations

Policy engines can apply to imported events as part of an Import Policy job.

For example, Import Policy enables you to apply policy to any files stored on your network. For example, you can categorize or apply smart tags to important business documents or reports.
