The Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.5 Policy Authoring and Incident Remediation course is intended for DLP policy authors and incident remediators who need to understand how to create, maintain, and refine DLP policies and how to create effective incident remediation workflows to drive toward their organization’s data-loss risk reduction goals.

The hands-on labs include exercises for authoring policies (detection rules and response rules) and performing incident detection, incident response, and incident reporting.

The course assumes that Symantec Data Loss
Prevention (DLP) is already implemented in the organization’s environment, and is configured to cover the relevant vectors for the organization: Data in Motion, Data at Rest, and Data in Use, whether on-premises or in the cloud. For this reason, the course does not cover how to implement, maintain, or troubleshoot the servers and cloud components of the DLP product suite, or the technical configuration of individual DLP products beyond policy authoring and incident remediation.

Note: This course is delivered on a Microsoft Windows platform.

By the end of this course, you will be able to create policies, and track and remediate incidents in Symantec Data Loss Prevention 15.5.
