Summary

Cloudflare Email Security customers using Microsoft Outlook can now utilize the new DLP Assist capability, which scans emails in real-time to identify potential data loss prevention violations. This application is lightweight, easy to deploy, and helps organizations maintain compliance without disrupting workflow. It integrates with the Desktop (Mac and Windows) and Web Outlook clients, passively scanning emails as they are composed. The DLP engine leverages OCR technology to analyze attachments, extract text from images, and detect DLP violations across both email content and embedded data. Administrators can instantly alert users of violations and take action downstream, whether by blocking or encrypting messages, to prevent sensitive information from leaking. The application is designed for quick deployment and allows customers to immediately begin scanning emails for sensitive data and taking action to prevent unauthorized sharing, ensuring compliance and security from day one.
