Explanation
Data exfiltration prevention requires controlling both the content and the types of files leaving the network. Data Filtering profiles inspect outbound traffic for sensitive data patterns such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or custom-defined expressions, and can block or alert when such content is detected. File Blocking profiles control which file types can be uploaded or transmitted outbound, preventing unauthorized transfer of documents, archives, executables, and other file formats commonly used to carry stolen data. DoS Protection profiles address denial-of-service attack mitigation, and Antivirus profiles focus on detecting inbound or outbound malware-neither is designed to prevent data exfiltration specifically.
