Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A. Combining pre-defined content detectors for financial data and custom keywords related to the deal allows you to create a comprehensive DLP policy that specifically targets the sensitive information you want to protect. Setting the action to "Quarantine" ensures that any emails containing this information are immediately isolated and prevented from being shared further, maintaining confidentiality.
B. Blocking all external emails for the duration of the deal is a drastic measure that may hinder communication and collaboration with external parties. While it can prevent oversharing of information, it is not a targeted approach and may disrupt normal business operations.
C. Disabling email attachments for the entire organization is a broad solution that may impact legitimate business activities that require sharing files via email. While it can prevent the sharing of sensitive information through attachments, it is not a targeted approach to specifically address the confidentiality concerns related to financial figures and company names during the merger and acquisition deal.
D. Creating a regex pattern to detect and quarantine emails containing the names of both companies is a good practice, but it may not cover all sensitive information that needs to be protected during the merger and acquisition deal. It is important to have a more comprehensive approach that includes various types of sensitive data, not just company names.
