Defining the sensitive data

Defining the sensitive data

In order to establish what is considered sensitive data, you need to configure manual document fingerprints. Document fingerprinting relies on providing a characteristic of a file that you want to detect. The FortiMail unit generates a checksum fingerprint and stores it. The unit generates a fingerprint for all email attachments and compares them to all the fingerprints stored in the database.
