Importing, Exporting, and Copying DLP Rules | Trend Micro Service Central

Views:

Administrators can import previously defined rules (contained in a properly formatted .dat file) or export the list of configured DLP rules. Copying a DLP rule allows an administrator to modify the contents of a previously defined rule to save time.

The following table describes how each function works.

Table 1. Import, Export, and Copy Functions for DLP Rules
Function	Description
Import	Importing a rule list appends non-existing rules to the existing DLP rule list. Data Loss Prevention skips rules that already exist in the target list. Data Loss Prevention maintains all pre-configured settings for each rule, including the enabled or disabled status.
Export	Exporting a rule list exports the entire list to a .dat file that administrators can then import and deploy to other domains or agents. Data Loss Prevention saves all rule settings based on the current configuration. Note: Administrators must save or apply any new or modified rules before exporting the list. Data Loss Prevention does not export any exceptions configured for the policy, only the settings configured for each rule.
Copy	Copying a rule creates an exact replica of the current configuration settings for the rule. Administrators must type a new name for the rule and can make any configuration modifications necessary for the new rule.
