Public Preview: DLP On-Prem 

  • The DLP on-premises scanner crawls on-premises data-at-rest in file shares and SharePoint document libraries and folders for sensitive items that, if leaked, would pose a risk to your organization or pose a risk of compliance policy violation

  • You need to leverage the Scanner binaries from AIP UL Client Version 2.10.43.0
