DLP support for FTP Protocol

manojwkumar — Thu, 08 Jun 2023 11:50:09 GMT

We have a requirement to apply DLP inspection to FTP traffic - both native FTP & FTP over HTTP. Does the Palo Alto Enterprise DLP supports FTP protocol or FTP APP-ID?

I have referred to below Palo Alto link and there is a line -" File operations - You can upload files using HTTP and HTTPS (no FTP or SMTP)"

FTP is a common file upload protocol and it should be supported for DLP, but per above line it seems Palo Alto doesn't support it.

Hi @manojwkumar ,

FTP is not supported by the enterprise DLP functionality. The following page lists all the supported applications for DLP:

Please reach out to your local SE and submit a feature request if you would like other applications to be included.

Kind regards,
