Data Leakage Prevention Browser Configurations

Data Leakage Prevention helps to avoid sensitive information from being inadvertently shared through the browser.

This document will explain how to create the policy and about each configuration provided by Endpoint Central.

    • Enable - When enabled, users are prevented from typing, pasting, or submitting Personally Identifiable Information (PI) on Generative AI websites such as ChatGPT.
    • Audit - PII-related activities on Generative AI websites are monitored and logged. Administrators can review the detected data and related events through Browser Audit Reports.

    For an unexpected detection, record the displayed data-type label, affected site, browser/extension version, policy mode and event time. Review the corresponding Browser Audit event and its available remarks. On Windows, reported events can contain the site URL and detected PII type.
    A label such as API KEY describes the reported detection category; it does not by itself prove why a particular URL matched. Send a sanitized example and the event details to support. Do not include actual API keys, passwords or personal data in the example.
