Using Data Leakage Protection

Data Leakage Protection (DLP) settings within the SOTI Hub profile configuration enable you to control how device users interact with the files in your content repository. This limits the potential exposure of your company data.

When DLP is enabled, supported files are opened in the SOTI Hub editor, where, depending on your settings, device users can edit, print, or share enterprise content. You can also choose to exclude file types from DLP settings. When excluded, you can use external apps to view file contents.
