What types of traffic can the DLP engine examine?

The DLP (Data Loss Prevention) engine in FortiAnalyzer is designed to monitor and analyze a wide variety of traffic types to ensure that sensitive data is identified and appropriately managed. In this context, the correct choice highlights that the DLP engine can inspect email, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol), and web traffic.

Email traffic is scrutinized to prevent the unauthorized transmission of confidential information, as emails often contain sensitive data attachments or content. FTP traffic is analyzed because files are commonly transferred over FTP, and monitoring this can help in preventing data exfiltration. NNTP traffic, which is used for transferring news articles on the Usenet, can be another vector for data leakage and is thus also monitored. Lastly, web traffic encompasses a vast array of data transfer, including file downloads and uploads, which could also contain sensitive information.

The inclusion of all these traffic types allows for a comprehensive approach to data protection and reinforces the overall security posture by ensuring that potential data loss vectors are continuously monitored and managed. Thus, the DLP engine's ability to examine these diverse traffic types enables organizations to enforce their data protection policies effectively.
