DLP is coming to VMware Cloud Web Security!
Data loss prevention (DLP) will be added to VMware Cloud Web Security (part of VMware SASE™) at the end of this month. This means that you can now prevent sensitive data from leaving your secured environments. No more credit card numbers, social security numbers, postal addresses, etc. sent to people or places it shouldn’t go.
DLP monitors, detects, blocks, and reports data exposure. It helps address compliance needs in industries such as healthcare (HIPAA) or retail (PCI). VMware Cloud Web Security includes default dictionaries for over 350 data types that are classified as sensitive data. The solution also provides the option to create custom definitions using strings or regular expressions.
Look out for more details and a future webinar topic once it’s live!

VMware Cloud Web Security webinar FAQs

- Can you explain how you decrypt SSL at the SASE PoP? Without certs? How is this possible?
- What is the latency advantage when comparing 3rd party cloud security providers and integrated VMware Cloud Web Security?
- Is directory integration available to sync with a customers Azure AD, on-premises AD, Okta, etc.?

Tips and Tricks: Recurring reports
Buckle up! We’re heading to the new UI to get some automatic, recurring reports spun up. VMware SD-WAN will email you a link to a report. These reports can be sent as PDF, CSV or both.
This functionality is available in the old UI, but it’s time to play in the new UI! We’re going to set up a weekly scheduled report in the steps below.
- “Open New Orchestrator UI” (at the top of the screen)
- Click “Reports” on the left hand navigation
- Click “New Report”
- Click the blue “Custom” button
- Click “Schedule a recurring report”
- Generate a report for the “Last Week” and schedule it to recur every Monday at 1:00pm
- Leave all of the detail items checked. Feel free to review the description by expanding the right hand sections. Select “Next”
- “Include all Edges” then select “Next”
- Give the report a name. Send the email to a list of users (separated by comma) if you’d like.
- Click “Submit”
- Emails will be sent from “[email protected]” so you may need to create an inbox rule.
We also recommend bookmarking the reports page for easy access.
