Data Classifiation Test Scenarios
Data Classifiation Test Scenarios
Enforcer (ISE) subscription license and Endpoint Security (EPS) subscription license.
Objective: Demonstrate the suite's ability to prevent unauthorized sharing or leakage of sensitive
documents.
Objective: Showcase the suite's capability to enforce encryption and compliance policies for
outgoing emails.
Scenario: Send an email containing sensitive information. The DLP solution should automatically
encrypt the email and ensure that it complies with relevant data protection regulations.
Objective: Highlight the suite's ability to filter web content and protect endpoints from malicious
websites.
Scenario: Visit a website known for hosting malware. The EPS should block access to the site and
provide a notification. Test the suite's effectiveness in preventing phishing attacks.
Objective: Illustrate the suite's capability to control and manage external devices connected to
endpoints.
Scenario: Connect a USB device to an endpoint. The EPS should identify the device and enforce
policies, such as allowing or blocking access based on predefined rules.
Objective: Demonstrate the suite's ability to control and manage applications running on endpoints.
Scenario: Attempt to run an unauthorized application on an endpoint. The EPS should detect and
block the application, enforcing the organization's application control policies.
6. Insider Threat Detection:
Objective: Showcase the suite's ability to identify and respond to insider threats.
Scenario: Simulate an employee attempting to access or download a large volume of sensitive data. The
suite should detect this unusual behavior and trigger an alert or block access.
Objective: Highlight the suite's capabilities in securing and managing mobile devices.
Scenario: Connect a mobile device to the corporate network. The suite should enforce security policies,
such as device encryption and remote wipe capabilities.
Objective: Demonstrate the suite's incident response capabilities and reporting features.
Scenario: Trigger a security incident, such as a malware detection or a policy violation. Showcase how
the suite responds in real-time and generates detailed reports for further analysis.
Objective: Monitor and control outbound network traffic to prevent data exfiltration.
Scenario: Attempt to transmit sensitive data over the network. The ISE should inspect and block
unauthorized data transmissions.
Objective: Ensure secure collaboration by monitoring and protecting data shared through collaboration
platforms.
Scenario: Share a sensitive document on a collaboration platform. The DLP solution should scan and
control access to the document based on policies.
Objective: Extend security to cloud applications by monitoring and controlling data interactions.
Scenario: Upload sensitive data to a cloud application. The DLP should detect and prevent the upload
based on predefined policies.
Scenario: Attempt to store sensitive data in a location non-compliant with data residency regulations.
The DLP solution should prevent the storage and provide a compliance report.
Objective: Utilize behavioral analysis to detect and respond to advanced threats on endpoints.
Scenario: Simulate a sophisticated malware attack on an endpoint. The EPS should detect the abnormal
behavior and initiate a response.
Scenario: Attempt to log in to an endpoint without MFA. The EPS should prompt for additional
authentication and deny access without it.
Scenario: Access corporate resources from an unsecured network. The ISE should enforce security
policies, such as VPN usage and endpoint compliance checks.
Scenario: Copy production data to a testing environment. The DLP solution should automatically mask or
anonymize sensitive information to maintain data privacy.
Scenario: Investigate a security incident by analyzing logs, alerts, and historical data provided by the
suite.
Scenario: Transfer a sensitive file between endpoints. The DLP solution should ensure encryption and
validate recipient access permissions.
Objective: Integrate with security awareness training platforms to reinforce security education.
Scenario: Monitor and track employees' completion of security awareness training modules. The ISE
should enforce completion before granting access to sensitive data.
Scenario: Identify an unpatched software vulnerability on an endpoint. The EPS should automatically
download and apply the necessary patches.
Scenario: Attempt to transmit malicious content over an encrypted connection. The ISE should decrypt
and inspect the content for potential threats.
Scenario: Attempt to modify critical system configurations on an endpoint. The EPS should revert
unauthorized changes and notify administrators.
Scenario: Print a document containing sensitive data. The DLP solution should validate permissions and
monitor or block the print job if necessary.
Objective: Enhance security by isolating and testing potentially malicious applications in a controlled
environment.
Scenario: Run a suspicious application on an endpoint. The EPS should isolate the application in a
sandbox, preventing potential harm to the system.
