Actions

A user policy contains almost a hundred actions, covering all the main channels (email, Web, files, and so on). For each channel, there are also separate sets of control actions and capture actions.

• A control action defines how CA DataMinder intervenes when a control trigger fires. In particular, the Intervention setting defines the action you want CA DataMinder to take. For example, if an unauthorized attachment causes an email control trigger to fire, you can configure the Intervention setting to block the email or warn the user. Likewise, if a file scan causes a Data At Rest control trigger to fire, you can, for example, delete the unauthorized file or move it to an approved location.
• A capture action determines how much data is captured when a capture trigger fires. For example, you can choose whether to capture Web page images or email attachments.
