Description This article describes how to enable DLP on FortiGate using the GUI.
Scope FortiGate v7.6.0.
Solution

In the newer FortiGate versions, such as v7.4.x and v7.6.x, the DLP option is not available under Security Profiles and Feature Visibility to access from the GUI.

Solution:

To configure Data Loss Prevention UTM on FortiGate firewall policies, add /utm/dlp to the URL or IP address used to access FortiGate.

When multiple VDOMs are enabled, the VDOM name may need to be specified in the URL /utm/dlp?vdom=<vdom name>.

 

For example, the URL used to access DLP using the GUI is https://10.9.11.54/utm/dlp.

After that, the DLP option might not appear under Security Profiles in the firewall policy. The firewall policy can be edited via CLI to set the DLP profile.

Hi! Could you tell me if the fact that the feature doesn't appear in the GUI is related to entry-level FortiGates like the 40F and 60F (2GB RAM)? Is there a Fortinet article or document regarding this?
