DLP - By file formats

There are situations when DLP analysis does not require extracting text from a document and analyzing it for occurrences (see sensitivity block), but rather looking at the file format as a whole.
For example, prohibiting CAD drawing files from being sent or much more. In this case, it is convenient to enable the necessary formats on this tab.
As a result of DLP triggering in this case, the "Events: User" report will show the DLP event type "by_formats".
Note: This analysis is not sensitive to the file extension (it can be any), detection occurs by signatures, headers, and other features, however, for some proprietary formats, format recognition is only possible by file extension.
