Recommended DLP Configuration to Monitor AI Apps

This article lists recommended DLP Rules to create to monitor AI Apps.

Overview

The Application Control and DLP policy includes pre-defined Cato-recommended rules. Included in these are rules to protect your AI apps. By default, DLP monitors and creates events for the following Data Types being uploaded to GenAI tools:

  • PII

  • Financial data

  • Access keys & tokens

  • Legal data

This is available by default for accounts created after March 25, 2025. For accounts created before this date, you can manually create the rules.

Recommended DLP Configuration

We recommend creating the following DLP profiles and adding them to DLP rules to protect sensitive data while using AI apps. For more information, see Securing AI App Traffic.
