Question:

What is Protected Zone?

 
 
Answer:Protected Zone is formed by Protected area in server-side and Local Protected Directory in client-side. Protected area in server-side could be Share Folder in file server, SharePoint site, ERP system, self-developed system, and etc. In client-side, Local Protected Directory will be automatically created during installation of Curtain Client. The folder name is "ProtDir" that will be created in all local drives.

Protected Zone:
e-locker data loss prevention(DLP) - Protected Zone

Local Protected Directory:
e-locker data loss prevention(DLP) - Local Protected Directory

In this case, there are two local drives (i.e. C and D). Therefore, "ProtDir" will be created under C and D drive. Moreover, Local Protected Directory is personal according to login user. User cannot access Local Protected Directory of another user in the same workstation.

P.S.
- There is a setting called "Hide local protected directory" in control policy group. If administrators want to enforce users directly accessing protected files in file server, they can enable this function.
- There is a function called "Local Encrypted Drive". Administrators can use this function to encrypt Local Protected Directory in order to enhance the security ( FAQ 00181 - How to enable Local Encrypted Drive? ).
- Administrators can set additional local protected directory if needed ( FAQ 00113 - How to add "Additional Protected Directory" in Curtain Admin ).
