Hello all,

Fortinet SWG provides Deep Text based analysis as a inbuilt FEATURE of the DLP SECTION.

They provide this feature via which the uploaded content is checked against some REGULAR EXPRESSION (REGEX) AND POLICIES RESTRICTIONS are applied based on the result.

This is a good to have feature in SafeSquid-SWG as well.
Since SafeSquid-SWG Granular model will enhance this feature to a bigger extend like

Example:
1) Blocking contents of Facebook that are used to like a content
2) Blocking Specific Email Id from login
Etc and many more.

But currently we do not have such Feature available that can do so.

But I personally think
SafeSquid-SWG's Text Analyzer can be the smart alternative for this purpose.
But the only problem we lack here is
Text Analyzer does not scans Upload Contents.
If Text Analyzer filter is also processed in the uploaded contents, we can achieve this feature.

Not only Card Details but any content can be then identified using the REGEX PATTERN.

This could be a very good feature update to the product.
