    Create a Custom DLP Rule

    Creating a DLP rule involves selecting predefined data identifiers, creating a new custom data identifier, validating the identifier against a data set, fine-tuning the rule, setting the scan options, and defining the severity threshold.

    You can create a new DLP rule or clone an existing rule. When you clone a predefined or custom DLP rule, the data identifiers and settings are copied and displayed in the Create Rule dialog box.

    To create a new DLP rule:

    1. Go to Policies > Profiles > DLP > Edit Rules > Data Loss Prevention in the Netskope UI.
    2. Click New Rule.

    To clone a predefined or custom rule, on the DLP Rules page click the Menu icon and then, click the Clone icon.
