Issue/Introduction

Does DLP have a limit to the depth of recursively zipped files that it can scan?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

No specific limit to the depth of zipped directories that DLP will scan has been specified. It is dependent on system resources, RAM etc, however testing has shown DLP can still scan files that are zipped up 20 times and generate incidents for those files. A test zip file, new zip depth test (20).zip, is attached that contains a Word docx file that is zipped up 20 times that can be used for testing.
