Announcing two highly requested DLP enhancements: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Source Code Detections
Mar 5, 2024Noelle Kagan

Summary
This post introduces two new capabilities to Cloudflare's DLP service: OCR for image-based data detection and predefined source code detections for various programming languages. OCR allows DLP policies to scan images for sensitive text, while source code detections leverage machine learning models trained on public repositories to identify and block code exfiltration. The post details how to configure these features within DLP policies, including selecting language profiles and enabling OCR for inline blocking via Secure Web Gateway and data-at-rest scanning via CASB.
