Customized Data Pattern Example - Exact Data Match

Before the Customized Data Pattern can be added, create a CSV file named "Group1EDM.csv" with the following content.

Jason	Valentino	120 Jefferson St.	Riverside	CA	92504
Marry	Baxter	415 W Willow Grove Ave	Philadelphia	PA	19118
David	Solace	555 Pierce Street APT #123	Albany	CA	94706
Thomas	Jefferson	1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW	Washington	DC	20500

The following Customized Data Pattern will utilize the Exact Data Match category and a CSV file provided to search for a match against the sensitive data in a Data Protection Policy.

1. Go to Data Protection > Policies > Data Pattern, and click on Customized tab.
2. Click on +ADD NEW to add a customized data pattern.
3. In Data Pattern Name, enter "Group-1-EDM".



4. In Description, enter "Target group for EDM search".
5. In Category, select Exact Data Match.
6. In Max Uncompressed File Size and Max Compressed File Size, use the default value "10MB".
7. In CSV File, browse and upload the CSV file.



8. In Matching Threshold, press + to select 2

   Note: When the Matching Threshold value of 2 is selected, it means if there are any 2 cell values that matched between the CSV file and the sensitive data during file scan, a DLP alert will be triggered.

   For example, when both the values from the CSV file - "Thomas" and "Albany" are found in the targeted sensitive file, a DLP alert will be triggered. If only "Thomas" is matched, then an alert will not be triggered.

9. Click Add Customized Data Pattern to finish.

Now the Customized Data Pattern is ready to be added and enabled in Data Security Policy configuration.
