Course Overview
The Symantec Data Loss Prevention 16.X Differences course by Symantec is designed for IT security professionals responsible for upgrading, managing, and optimizing DLP environments from earlier versions to Symantec Data Loss Prevention 16.X. This training specifically prepares administrators for the operational and architectural changes introduced in version 16.X, including new policy evaluation engines and detection capabilities. It serves roles such as Data Loss Prevention Administrators, Information Security Analysts, and Compliance Officers who must ensure organizational adherence to data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA. With over 80% of Fortune 500 companies deploying Symantec DLP solutions, understanding the differences in version 16.X is critical for maintaining robust data security postures across enterprise networks.
Participants engage with key technologies including the new high-performance policy evaluation engine, structured data matching for PII and financial data, enhanced regular expression support for data identifiers, expanded Linux support for remote indexers (RHEL 7.x/8.x, Oracle Linux), and upgraded OCR server functionality. The hands-on lab environment simulates a real enterprise deployment where students configure and migrate policies from legacy formats to the new 16.X engine, validate Unicode pattern recognition, and implement detection rules for password-protected 7-zip files. A core project involves building a compliance policy that leverages structured data matching to reduce false positives in endpoint data monitoring, using the Enforce Server administration console to deploy and test rule accuracy across diverse document types.
This course directly supports certification as a Symantec Certified Specialist in Data Loss Prevention, a credential recognized across the cybersecurity industry for validating deep product expertise.
