Configuring Client Notifications

About this task

Once Data Protection detects a DLP policy incident or Device Control violation, CPM performs the administrator-defined action associated with the event that occurred. Administrators can configure a customized message to inform users that CPM performed an action on their endpoint.

For example, if a user attempts to access a USB device on their endpoint and the administrator has configured Device Control to block access to USB devices, configure a message such as, “A Device Control violation has been detected. Access to the device has been denied.” This message informs users that their current action is in violation of a policy and that their computer is functioning properly.

Administrators can configure separate notifications for Device Control and Data Identifier Transmissions.
