What is "Custom Actions by Channel" and why is it significant?

Question

Accepted Answer

One of the most operationally significant differentiators of Siberson Verikor DLP is its Custom Actions by Channel capability. Legacy DLP platforms typically apply a single enforcement action uniformly across all data movement vectors — a blunt instrument that generates disproportionate friction and high false-positive volumes for security teams. Siberson Verikor DLP enables security teams to define distinct, risk-calibrated response actions for each channel. Representative configurations: Channel Risk Profile Example Enforcement Configuration USB / Removable media High Hard block — no data transfer without explicit manager approval workflow External email High Block and require business justification with senior approver notification Internal email Medium Audit and notify — flag for SOC review without disrupting business workflow Web upload (unknown destinations) High Block; allow only to pre-approved business SaaS applications Printing Medium Apply digital watermark, audit, and generate incident record Internal network shares Low–Medium Audit silently; alert only on anomalous volume thresholds
