Creating Identity Rules
Issue:
Keeping confidential data safe is an important issue that bothers us all. Data theft has kept pace with the development of Internet communications and it makes use of new methods of fooling people into giving away private information.
Whether it is your e-mail or your credit card number, when they fall into the wrong hands such information may cause you damage: you may find yourself drowning in spam messages or you might be surprised to access an emptied account.
Identity Control helps you keep confidential data safe. It scans the HTTP or SMTP traffic, or both, for certain strings that you have defined.
Note: If a match is found, the respective web page or e-mail will blocked.
Solution:
The rules must be input manually (click the Add button and choose the parameters for the rule). The configuration wizard will appear.

Step 1/3 - Set Rule Type and Data
Enter the name of the rule in the edit field.
You must set the following parameters:
- Rule Type - choose the rule type (address, name, credit card, PIN, SSN etc).
- Rule Data - type in the rule data.
Step 2/3 - Select Traffic
Select the type of traffic you want BitDefender to scan. The following options are available:
- Scan HTTP - scans the HTTP (web) traffic and blocks the outgoing data that matches the rule data.
- Scan SMTP - scans the SMTP (mail) traffic and blocks the outgoing e-mail messages that contain the rule data.
You can choose to apply the rule only if the rule data matches whole words or if the rule data and the detected string case match.
Step 3/3 - Describe Rule
Enter a short description of the rule in the edit field.
Click Finish.
