Schedule Triggers in DLP policies

Feature description

Triggers Schedule allow scheduling the execution of DLP rules at a strictly defined time, independently of other conditions. This is a useful tool for data classification within security policies.

Schedule types

Trigger Schedule supports the following schedule types:

• Hourly– the rule is executed every 60 minutes.

• Daily– the rule is executed every day.

• Weekly – the rule is executed once a week.

• Monthly – the rule is executed once a month.

Key configuration steps

1

Setting the start date

Each schedule requires defining a start date, which specifies when the rule will be first executed.

2

Defining the end date or number of occurrences

• If the schedule is intended to be time-limited, you should:

  • Select an end date,

  • Or set the number of occurrences of the rule.

• After the schedule reaches its end, the rule will be automatically disabled.

3

Indefinite operation (optional)

• To have the rule operate without an end date, select the option "Run Infinitely".

• In that case the schedule will remain active until the rule is manually disabled in the main DLP policies view.

---

Additional configuration options

Depending on the selected frequency, the schedule may include additional settings.

Daily

• Every X days – execute the rule every specified number of days.

• Every weekday – execute the rule only on working days.

Weekly

• Every X week(s) on the following day – execute the rule every specified number of weeks on the indicated day.

Monthly

• Every X month(s) on X day of the month - The rule will be executed every specified number of months (X), on a specific day of the month (e.g., the 15th day of every 3rd month).

  Example: If we set "every 2 months, on the 10th day of the month", the rule will run on the 10th day of January, March, May, etc.

• Every X month(s) on a variable day: [Week], [Weekday] - The rule will be executed every specified number of months (X), according to a variable day of the month.

  Configuration options:

  • [Week]: Week number in the month (e.g., first, second, third week).

  • [Weekday]: Day of the week (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).

  Example: If we set "every 1 month, on the second Monday of the month", the rule will be executed on the corresponding day each month.
