Difference between file type and Pattern
| Description | This article describes difference between file type and Pattern in DLP. |
| Scope | |
| Solution | The file type is to scan the actual content of the file. The file pattern is to check the name of the file.
For Example: if the zip does not contain the valid archived content then FortiProxy will identify the filetype as 'filetype=unknown' so it will not be blocked.
At the same time, the file pattern scans the exact filename with extension (*.zip) so it will get blocked. |
