Symantec Cloud Service for Email architecture and


mail flow
Symantec Cloud Service for Email consists of the following components:
■ Symantec Data Loss Prevention version 14.6 MP1 or later.
■ Symantec Cloud Detectors that provide Symantec Data Loss Prevention in the Symantec
cloud.
■ Your organization's on-premises Microsoft Exchange deployment, Microsoft Office 365
Exchange Online, or Google G Suite Gmail setup to relay SMTP traffic to Symantec Cloud
Service for Email.
■ Symantec Email Security.cloud for email delivery. For Office 365, you can provide email
delivery with Office 365 Reflecting mode.
After a message is sent it is routed through the cloud detector, and then is delivered to its final
destination. Figure 1-1 depicts this process when you use Email Security.cloud.
Introducing Cloud Service for Email 12
Symantec Cloud Service for Email architecture and mail flow

Figure 1-1 Message flow for Symantec Cloud Service for Email

Here's a summary of how an email flows through the system:


1. Mary, an employee, sends an outbound email message from her corporate on-premises
Exchange, Office 365 Exchange Online, or Google G Suite Gmail account to Bob, an
external user.
2. The email is sent to the on-premises Exchange servers, the Exchange Online servers in
the Office 365 Exchange Online cloud, or Google G Suite Gmail servers in the Google
cloud.
3. The administrator has set up Office 365 Exchange Online or Google G Suite Gmail so
the corresponding servers route email messages to Symantec Cloud Service for Email
that resides in the Symantec cloud.
4. Symantec Cloud Service for Email leverages the existing policies that are defined in the
Enforce Server, and analyzes the emails for any violations of these policies. If any policy
Introducing Cloud Service for Email 13
System requirements

is violated, the Symantec Cloud Detector adds directives in the form of X-Headers to the
email. Then, it generates incidents and sends them to the customer's on-premises Enforce
Server. At the Enforce Server administration console, the Data Loss Prevention
administrator or remediator can view incident reports.
5. Emails that pass detection are routed for final delivery through Symantec Email
Security.cloud. Office 365 mail can be routed for final delivery through Office 365 Reflecting
mode.
Based on data protection policies that are defined within Email Security.cloud and
X-Headers that the Symantec Cloud Detector inserts, Email Security.cloud blocks, encrypts,
quarantines, or redirects the email before delivery to the recipient mail server.
6. In this case, the email that passed detection is delivered to Bob.

System requirements
The following components are necessary for Symantec Cloud Service for Email:
■ A Symantec Data Loss Prevention Enforce Server, version 14.6 MP1 or later, and an Oracle
database
■ A license for Symantec Data Loss Prevention Symantec Cloud Service for Email for each
mail service you monitor
■ An enrollment bundle for Symantec Data Loss Prevention
■ An on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server, or a Microsoft Office 365 Exchange Online
or Google G Suite Gmail online hosting account
■ An account with Symantec Email Security.cloud, only if you use it as a mail transfer agent
■ An Office 365 Exchange online account set up in Reflecting mode, if you use it as a mail
transfer agent
For more information on the hardware requirements and software requirements for the Enforce
Server and the Oracle database see the latest version of the Symantec Data Loss Prevention

console.

Saving the enrollment bundle


After Symantec has set up your detection service in the cloud, Symantec sends you an
enrollment bundle. This bundle contains the information that you need to set up the connection
from your on-premises Enforce Server to the Symantec-hosted detection service in the cloud.
You can copy the enrollment bundle to any directory on your Enforce Server. Do not extract
the enrollment bundle zip file. The Enforce Server administration console requires the enrollment
bundle in the form of a zip file; extracted XML files do not enable enrollment.

Note: Each enrollment bundle can be uploaded to the Enforce Server to register your service
only once. The enrollment bundle expires 7 calendar days after you receive it. For security
reasons, you should ensure that no other user can access the bundle. To ensure limited
access, change the properties of the destination folder so that no other user can read it or
write to it.
If you have waited longer than 7 calendar days to upload your bundle and register the service,
and need a new enrollment bundle, contact Symantec Support at
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/contact-support.html

For example, on Windows, save the bundle to


C:\Users\<username>\Downloads

or any other subfolder under c:\Users\<username>.


On Linux, save the bundle to
/<home>/<username>/

or any subfolder under /<home>/<username>/.

Note: You should receive an enrollment bundle shortly after Symantec provisions your service.
If you have not received an enrollment bundle in a reasonable amount of time, check your
Junk mailbox. Check with your internal IT department to ensure that your company has no
inbound filters that may have blocked receipt of the enrollment bundle zip file.
Deploying the Cloud Service for Email 19
Accessing the cloud service from the Enforce Server

Accessing the cloud service from the Enforce Server


You can establish communication between the Enforce Server and the cloud service either
directly or by using a proxy.

Opening a port for communication with the cloud service


The on-premises Enforce Server must be able to communicate with the Symantec Cloud
Service for Email. Your corporate network must allow outbound traffic to port 443. Open port
443 and ensure that access to the following URLs is allowed for connecting to the DLP cloud
service:
■ pki-scep.symauth.com
■ gw.csg.dlp.protect.symantec.com
See your network administrator for more information on opening a port in your environment.
If your enterprise has deployed a transparent proxy between the Enforce Server and the
Symantec Data Loss Prevention cloud service, the Enforce Server does not trust the transparent
proxy CA and the communication fails. You must exempt the Enforce Server from the
transparent proxy and allow it to communicate outbound on TCP port 443 to the Internet.
If your enterprise security policy does not allow this access from your Enforce Server, see
Configuring the Enforce Server to use a proxy to connect to cloud services.

Configuring the Enforce Server to use a proxy to connect to cloud


services
To configure the Enforce Server to use a proxy to connect to cloud services, you must set up
your proxy according to the proxy manufacturer's instructions. Then you configure the Enforce
Server to support the use of the proxy. After setting up your proxy, use these instructions to
complete the setup.
If you have configured the Enforce Server to connect to the Symantec ICE Cloud, Network
Protect uses the configured proxy to connect to the ICE Cloud whenever a SharePoint scan
triggers the SharePoint Encrypt response action.
Network Discover/Cloud Storage Discover also supports network proxies for connecting to the
ICE Cloud during file share (File System) scans. To configure the network proxy settings for
file share scans, you must update the Server configuration.
Deploying the Cloud Service for Email 20
Registering the Cloud Detector

To configure the Enforce Server to use a proxy to connect to a cloud service


1 Go to System > Settings > General and click Configure. The Edit General Settings
screen is displayed.
2 In the Enforce to Cloud Proxy Settings section, select one of the following proxy
categories:
■ No proxy, or transparent proxy, or
■ Manual proxy

3 If you choose Manual proxy, fields for a URL, Port, and Proxy is Authenticated appear.
■ Enter the the HTTP Proxy URL.
■ Enter a port number.

4 If you are using an authenticated proxy, also enter


■ a user ID
■ a password

Note: The Enforce Server supports basic authentication when using a proxy to connect
to cloud services. For connecting to the ICE Cloud, the Enforce Server supports basic,
NTLM, and Kerberos authentication.

5 Click Save.

Registering the Cloud Detector


After you save the enrollment bundle, you can register your detector, enabling your on-premises
Enforce Server to communicate with your Symantec Cloud Service for Email.
To add a Symantec Cloud Service for Email Cloud Detector
1 Log on to the Enforce Server as administrator.
2 Go to System > Servers and Detectors.
The Overview page appears.
3 Click Add Cloud Detector.
The Add Cloud Detector screen appears.
4 Click Browse in the Enrollment Bundle File field.
Deploying the Cloud Service for Email 21
Enabling incident reconciliation

5 Locate the enrollmentbundle.zip that you received from Symantec and saved to your
Enforce Server.
The detector description for the chosen enrollment bundle appears. Verify that you have
chosen the correct bundle.
6 Add a name for this detector in the Detector Name field.
7 Click the Enroll Detector option to enroll your detector. The enrollment process can take
some time. You can track its progress on the Servers and Detectors > Overview page.
It may take several minutes or longer for the Enforce Server administration console to show
a Connected status for the Cloud Detector. To verify that the service was added, return to the
Servers and Detectors > Overview page. Verify that the cloud service appears in the list,
and that the status indicates Connected. After several minutes, if the connection status still
displays Unknown, you should restart the Monitor Controller process to move the status to
Connected.

Note: Each enrollment bundle can be uploaded to the Enforce Server to register your service
only once. The enrollment bundle expires 7 calendar days after you receive it. For security
reasons, you should ensure that no other user can access the bundle. To ensure limited
access, change the properties of the destination folder so that no other user can read it or
write to it.
If you have waited longer than 7 calendar days to upload your bundle and register the service,
and need a new enrollment bundle, contact Symantec Support at
https://support.symantec.com

Enabling incident reconciliation


Incident reconciliation is turned off by default, but must be turned on for Symantec Cloud
Service for Email to work properly. Turning on incident reconciliation enables managing of
duplicate copies of emails that are generated by Office 365 Exchange Online or Google G
Suite Gmail, preventing duplicate incidents. Duplicate copies of an email are generated when
recipients are added to the Cc or Bcc lists. For example, a user sends one email containing
Bcc's through Office 365 Exchange Online. The email violates one policy and more than one
incident is created. Incident reconciliation "reconciles" these multiple incidents to one, avoiding
the unnecessary duplication of incidents.
Enable incident reconciliation on the Enforce Server computer on Windows
1 On the computer that hosts the Enforce Server, log on as Admin.

from Exchange to Symantec Cloud Service for Email. You must also set up at least one routing
rule that controls which emails are forwarded. By default, Exchange routes the emails using
its own mail transfer agents (MTAs). To enable monitoring of emails by Symantec Data Loss
Prevention, mail flow rules must be set up to divert the emails to Symantec Cloud Service for
Email.
Symantec Cloud Service for Email supports Exchange Server versions 2010, 2013, and 2016.

Testing Symantec Cloud Service for Email


You can test Symantec Cloud Service for Email by sending an email that violates your test
policy.
To test your system
1 Create a policy. See “Creating and publishing a policy group for Symantec Cloud Service
for Email” on page 40.
2 Access an Office 365 email account or a Gmail account that routes to Symantec Cloud
Service for Email.
3 Send an email that violates the policy that you created in step 1. After the email is sent,
it takes several minutes for the incident to appear on the Enforce Server administration
console. The incident reconciliation timer determines the delay. The delay is configured
in the IncidentPersister.properties file. The default value is 4 minutes, so, by default
the incident does not appear on the Enforce Server administration console for 4 minutes
from the time the email was sent.

About updating email domains in the Enforce Server


administration console
You can quickly update the email domains of the corporate emails that you want Cloud Service
for Email (the Cloud Service) to scan. This capability applies to emails that are sent from
Microsoft Office 365 in Reflecting mode. The new list is immediately sent to the Symantec
Cloud Service when you add or remove a domain in the Enforce Server administration console.
Cloud Service for Email verifies and updates your domains. This ability enables you to update
domains at any time.
The Cloud Service only supports domains that have been added (white listed) either through
the Enforce Server administration console or through Symantec Support. Emails of unsupported
domains are rejected (bounced) by the Cloud Service.
If you are an existing customer of Cloud Service for Email, when you upgrade to 15.1 MP1 or
15.5, your existing domains are preserved and your traffic is not disrupted. You are blocked
from making any changes to your domains in the Enforce Server administration console until
the Cloud Service verifies your existing domains.
See “Upgrading to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.1 MP1 and 15.5 if you use Reflecting
mode” on page 38.
See “Adding the unique TXT record to your DNS settings” on page 36.

Adding the unique TXT record to your DNS settings


Each domain that you use requires verification by the Cloud Service. Each domain must contain
a predetermined DNS TXT record ID to pass verification. Symantec automatically generates
this ID when it provisions your Cloud Service for Email instance. You can find the TXT record
ID at System > Servers and Detectors > Overview > Server/Detector Detail. Work with
your DNS administrator or email administrator to add the TXT record ID to each of your domains.
When you upgrade to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.1 MP1 or 15.5 from an earlier version,
your Cloud Service is in reconcile mode. All domains that are configured on the Cloud Service
are available for verification. Once all domains are verified, you can manage the domains
going forward.

4 Select a domain and then select Add or Delete.
The Domain status can be one of the following:
■ Added - The domain has been verified and added.
■ Reconcile - The Symantec Cloud Service has tried to verify a domain, but there is no TXT
record in your DNS setting and the domain cannot be verified. You need to add the DNS
TXT record so that the domain can be verified and added. After you update, click Resend
to send the updated domain to Symantec.
■ Removed - You have deleted a domain and Symantec removed it from the detector
properties.
■ Invalid - The domain that you tried to add in the Enforce Server administration console
failed the DNS validation.
■ Request to Remove - You have deleted a domain and Symantec has not yet removed it
from the detector properties.
If the Symantec Cloud Service finds any validation problems with the email domains that you
have submitted, notifications appear on the bottom of the Detector Details page. Only valid
domains are used; the detector ignores invalid domains. You are responsible for checking that
the domains you have submitted are accepted and are valid.
See “Upgrading to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.1 MP1 and 15.5 if you use Reflecting
mode” on page 38.
See “Update override by the Symantec Cloud Service” on page 38.

Update override by the Symantec Cloud Service


The Symantec Cloud Service team can override the Add Domains feature when you make
a request for assistance to Symantec Support. If an override is required, a message that the
Symantec Cloud Service has overridden control is visible in the System Events panel at the
bottom right of the Detector Details page.
See “Upgrading to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.1 MP1 and 15.5 if you use Reflecting
mode” on page 38.

Upgrading to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.1 MP1 and 15.5 if


you use Reflecting mode
If you use Reflecting mode, when you upgrade to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.1 MP1
or 15.5, your domains are all in a Reconcile state until Symantec verifies that they are valid
and contain a DNS TXT record ID. Each one of your domains must include a DNS TXT record
ID.

Chapter 3
Creating Policies and
Managing Incidents for the
Cloud Service for Email
This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Creating and publishing a policy group for Symantec Cloud Service for Email

■ Encrypting cloud email with Symantec Information Centric Encryption

Creating and publishing a policy group for Symantec


Cloud Service for Email
You can create the policies that include any of the standard response rules, for example, Add
Comment, Limit Incident Data Retention, Log to a Syslog Server, Send Email Notification, and
Set Status.
See the Symantec Data Loss Prevention Administration Guide for more details.
You can also incorporate the following rules, which are specific to the Symantec Cloud Service
for Email:
■ Network: Block SMTP Message
Blocks the email messages that contain confidential data or significant metadata (as defined
in your policies). You can configure Symantec Data Loss Prevention to bounce the message
or redirect the message to a specified address.
The redirect feature is typically used to reroute messages to the address of a mailbox or
mail list. Administrators and managers use the mailbox or list to review and release
messages. Such mailboxes are outside the Symantec Data Loss Prevention system.
■ Network: Modify SMTP Message
Creating Policies and Managing Incidents for the Cloud Service for Email 41
Encrypting cloud email with Symantec Information Centric Encryption

Modifies the email messages that contain confidential data or significant metadata (as
defined in your policies). You can use this action to modify the message subject or add
specific RFC-2822 message headers to trigger further downstream processing. For example,
message encryption, message quarantine, or message archiving.
For details on setting up any response rule action, go to Manage > Policies > Response
Rules and click Add Response Rule, then open the online Help.
For details on using the Network: Modify SMTP Message action to trigger downstream
processes (such as message encryption), see the Symantec Data Loss Prevention MTA
Integration Guide for Network Prevent.
Even if you do not incorporate response rules into your policy, Symantec Cloud Service for
Email captures incidents as long as your policies contain detection rules. This feature can be
useful if you want to review the types of incidents Symantec Data Loss Prevention captures
and to then refine your policies.
To create a block test policy for Symantec Cloud Service for Email
1 In the Enforce Server administration console, create a response rule that includes one of
the actions specific to Symantec Cloud Service for Email. For example, create a response
rule that includes the Network: Block SMTP Message action.
2 Create a policy that incorporates the response rule you configured in the previous step.
For example, create a policy called Test Policy as follows:
■ Include a Content Matches Keyword detection rule that matches on the keyword
"secret."
■ Include a Network: Block SMTP Message response rule.
■ Associate it with the Default policy group.

Encrypting cloud email with Symantec Information


Centric Encryption
Integrating Symantec Information Centric Encryption (ICE) with Symantec Data Loss Prevention
Cloud Service for Email enables you to encrypt sensitive emails that are sent through Microsoft
Office 365 Exchange Online or Google G Suite Gmail. ICE encryption can be applied to email
attachments or to the email body and email attachments.
You set up ICE for Email in the Symantec ICE Cloud Console and the Enforce Server
administration console. You must set up encryption response rules for the emails that pass
through detection. Incidents show up on the Incident Details page with links to the ICE Console.
Creating Policies and Managing Incidents for the Cloud Service for Email 42
Encrypting cloud email with Symantec Information Centric Encryption

Using ICE with DLP Cloud Service for Email


Typical encryption technologies may allow data loss after emails are decrypted. Once the
emails are decrypted, they can be sent to other individuals and are no longer protected.
However, ICE encryption technology encrypts and protects emails and attachments throughout
the life of an email, regardless of where the email travels. If an email or an attachment violates
one or more DLP Cloud Service for Email policies, DLP Cloud Service for Email can direct the
ICE encryption service to automatically encrypt the message. Once it is encrypted, only the
users that you authorize can read it. ICE can encrypt the email and attachments, or only the
attachments.
With ICE, you can apply granular permissions to ICE-encrypted emails and determine what a
user can do with an email after ICE decrypts it. You can restrict the user from printing the email
attachment or email and attachment, modifying them, or sharing them. When DLP Cloud
Service for Email identifies an attachment to an email, or an email and attachment that violates
a policy, it uses the ICE encryption service to automatically encrypt them. The incident appears
in the Enforce Server administration console. DLP Cloud Service for Email then registers the
action with the ICE Cloud Console. You can click a link in the incident to view more details in
the ICE Cloud Console.
Initially, DLP administrators are given read-only access to the ICE Cloud Console. You can
always give the administrator greater permissions from within that console. DLP administrators
must sign in to the ICE Cloud Console when they click the View in ICE Cloud Console link.
After signing in, they can view more information about the incident in the ICE Cloud Console.
For more information on ICE, see the ICE online Help or the ICE documentation at
http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC9707.
See “Implementing ICE with Cloud Service for Email” on page 42.

Creating encryption response rules for ICE encryption


Use the information in Table 3-2 to create rules for ICE encryption. The steps for creating the
rules are provided after the table.
You can apply either of two rules for ICE encryption in your policies. You can either encrypt
only email attachments or the email attachments and the email body. You cannot encrypt just
the body. If an email includes multiple attachments, and only one attachment violates a policy
condition, all of the attachments are encrypted.

Encrypting cloud email with Symantec Information Centric Encryption

Note: If the attachment or the attachment and the email body cannot be encrypted for some
reason (such as invalid server information), Cloud Service for Email inserts a separate header
so that the email can be handled downstream.

The Encrypt response rule takes precedence over a Modify or Prepend Header response rule.
If there is a Modify Header response rule in addition to Encryption, only Encryption is executed.
However, a Block response rule takes precedence over an Encrypt response rule.

Best Practices for Cloud
Service for Email
This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Modify SPF records in Email Security.cloud to ensure email delivery

■ Delete the Cloud Detector to reset Symantec Cloud Service for Email

■ Requesting or renewing a new Cloud certificate

■ Understand size limits for profiles

■ Review known issues for Symantec Cloud Service for Email

Modify SPF records in Email Security.cloud to ensure


email delivery
When you use Symantec Cloud Service for Email, your outbound mail may be rejected and
not sent from Symantec Email Security.cloud because IP addresses are not registered in the
sending domain's Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record. The email is rejected when the
recipient domain is also a client who has enabled inbound SPF validation on their portal. Emails
from domains that publish a hard-fail SPF policy are blocked and deleted if the sending IP
address is not registered in the sending domain's SPF record.
To solve this problem, register the sending IP address in the SPF record to authorize both
Symantec Email Security.cloud and Microsoft Office 365 servers to send mail on behalf of a
domain. The sending administrator must modify the SPF record TXT file in DNS as
demonstrated in the following example to include the following Symantec Email Security.cloud
SPF string:
v=spf1 include:spf.messagelabs.com include:spfprotection.outlook.com -all

Delete the Cloud Detector to reset Symantec Cloud


Service for Email
You may need to delete an existing cloud detector if a detector was installed incorrectly, or if
you transition from a trial setup to a production setup.
To delete the Cloud Detector
1 Go to System > Overview.
2 In the Servers and Detectors section of the screen, click the red X on the Cloud Detector's
status line to remove it from the Enforce Server administration console.
3 Click OK to confirm deletion. The Cloud Detector's status line is removed from the System
Overview list.
4 Request a new enrollment bundle and save it to the Enforce Server. See “Implementation
overview” on page 15.

Requesting or renewing a new Cloud certificate


The certificate that you receive in your enrollment bundle has an expiration date. You can see
the expiration date on the System > Settings > General page, under Cloud Certificate. When
the certificate is about to expire, you receive and email from Symantec, with a new certificate
and instructions to install the certificate.
If you do not receive an email, you can request a new certificate bundle or a renewal bundle
from Symantec Support. You upload either bundle to the Enforce Server and install a new
certificate or renew an existing certificate on the System > Settings> General > Install a
Cloud Certificate page. See “Saving the enrollment bundle” on page 18.

Understand size limits for profiles


The combined maximum memory usage in a cloud detector for deployed policies and profile
indexes is 20 GB. If you want to deploy policies and profile indexes that exceed 20 GB, contact
Symantec Support.

Using additional Symantec
Email Security.cloud
features
This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Using Symantec Email Security.cloud Data Protection

Using Symantec Email Security.cloud Data Protection


Email Security.cloud's Data Protection features complement the detection features of the
Symantec DLP Cloud Detector. Based on directives in the form of X-Headers that are added
to an email by the DLP Cloud Detector, Data Protection policies within Symantec Email
Security.cloud are configured to take appropriate action such as redirecting, blocking,
quarantining or encrypting an email. For detailed instructions on setting up Data Protection
policies within Email Security.cloud, see
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/email-security-cloud.html.
The following sections give more information on three examples of Data Protection policies
that can be implemented within Email Security.cloud: Using Policy Based Encryption, Using
Silent blocking, and Using Quarantine.

Using Symantec Email Security.cloud Policy Based Encryption


With Policy Based Encryption, you can enforce email encryption based on predefined policies
while ensuring that emails can be read on all devices, including mobile. Policy Based Encryption
Essentials is provided with Symantec Cloud Service for Email and Policy Based Encryption
Advanced is available as an add-on to Email Security.cloud. It enforces email encryption based
on predefined policies. Encryption of messages can be initiated manually by the user or
automatically by policies that are set in Data Protection.
Using additional Symantec Email Security.cloud features 54
Using Symantec Email Security.cloud Data Protection

Defining PBE policies using Data Protection


You must define a Data Protection policy to trigger email encryption. The policy specifies an
action to redirect the email to a specific email address. The email address depends on the
Policy Based Encryption service you use. When you create the policy, you define the rules
that you want to cause the email to be encrypted. For example, you can specify a word or
phrase that must be contained in the header or body of the email to trigger encryption. Then
you inform your users of the word or phrase that must be present to encrypt the email.
Data Protection scans email against the policies in the order they are listed in the portal. If an
email triggers a policy with an exit action, it is subject to that action and does not pass on to
be scanned for further policies. The redirection action for special Policy Based Encryption
policies is an exit action. Put encryption policies towards the bottom of the policy list, so that
other policies defined to comply with the organization's acceptable usage policy are acted on
first. If an email triggers a policy with an exit action such as a block action, and that rule is
higher in the policy list, the email is not encrypted. The first policy that is encountered blocks
the email.
To define an encryption policy
1 Select Services > Email Services > Data Protection at the ESS portal.
2 Click New Policy from Template.
3 Select the PBE Essential Trigger Template (US) and click Create. A new Policy Based
Encryption policy is created from the template at the bottom of your policy list.
4 Click the policy name to open the policy. You can adjust the name of the policy at this
time. The policy is applied by default to Outbound mail only and the Action is preconfigured
to Redirect to Administrator.
5 Use the default rule. As long as "example@domain.com" is not a recipient of the message,
the rule always works. The first rule in the template policy is a Recipient Group rule. All
Policy Based Encryption policies require a recipient group rule. By default, the rule in the
template works if the message recipient does not match an address in the Default PBE
Recipient Group that by default contains "example@domain.com".
Using additional Symantec Email Security.cloud features 55
Using Symantec Email Security.cloud Data Protection

6 Use the default rules. The Policy Based Encryption templates contain two more default
rules that customers can use to help identify messages containing sensitive data. The
first rule looks for common keywords that might be found in messages customers may
want to be encrypted. Examples of these keywords are "confidential," "sensitive," and
"encrypt." The second rule looks for headers that are found in the message if the sender
has flagged the message for encryption using one of the Outlook plug-ins. Customers
can leave these rules in place or may choose to remove them and create new rules to
help identify messages with sensitive data. When sensitive information is identified in a
DLP policy, Symantec Cloud Service for Email can add a header to the message. Data
Protection uses this header to determine if the message should be encrypted.
7 Click Save in the bottom right-hand corner of the page. Once a policy is saved, you can
move the policy to where you want it positioned in your policy list. The policy can be
activated by clicking Activate in the far right-hand column of the policy. Once a policy is
activated, it can take about 20 minutes for it to take effect.
If an email is encrypted, the recipient receives an email with an encrypted PDF. The first time
that the recipient receives an encrypted PDF, he also receives an email with a link to a portal
where he can set the password that can be used to open the encrypted PDFs. The recipient
uses this password to view the message body of the email and any attachments.

Using Data Protection to silently block email messages


You can use Symantec Email Security.cloud to block emails. Unlike Symantec Data Loss
Prevention, where the sender of the email gets a "Blocked Message" notification, when email
messages are silently blocked using Data Protection, neither the sender nor the receiver gets
a notification. You can, however, pair the silent block rule with another response rule that
notifies the sender.
Here are the steps that you need to take to create a silent blocking policy with a keyword list.
To create a silent blocking policy
1 Select Services > Email Services > Data Protection at the ESS portal. A list of all email
policies appears.
2 Click Create a New Policy. Then, add a name and description.
3 In Apply to: click Outbound email only (the default).
4 In Execute if: choose ANY rules are met.
5 In Action: choose Block And Delete.
6 In Administrator email: add the email address of your DLP administrator.
7 Click Add rule.
8 Click Add a condition.
In Content Keyword List, click Create a new Keyword List.
Using additional Symantec Email Security.cloud features 56
Using Symantec Email Security.cloud Data Protection

9 Add a Name and a Description.


10 Add keywords. The ESS keywords (for example, downstream_block) must match the
keyword that is specified in the DLP "Modify SMTP Message" response rule.
11 Click Add.
12 Click Save.
13 After you save a policy, you must return to the Email Policies page and click the red
Activate option to activate the policy.

Note: If you want to test the policy, do not send the email from the email address that is defined
as the administrator email address. If you send a test message from the administrator email
address, the policy won't be applied.

features, including configuring Data Protection to silently block messages from the Email
Security.cloud console at:
