Record data

Regardless of the primary action, CPM records the sensitive information to <Client installation folder>\DLPLite\Forensic. Select this action to evaluate sensitive information that is being flagged by Data Loss Prevention.

As a security measure, clients do not send recorded sensitive information to the server.

Recorded sensitive information may consume too much hard disk space. Therefore, Trend Micro highly recommends that you choose this option only for highly sensitive information.
