Pre Command
This panel allows you to input a pre-processing command in the Command field that can be executed on the targeted file(s). PK Protect will substitute any instance of `%FULLPATH%`, `%DIRECTORY%`, `%FILENAME%`, and '%BASEDIR%' in single-line commands with the respective details of the processed file. These four variables are passed as parameters in multi-line commands, in the order listed above. This panel consists of the following configurations.
- Classification SISL : Input the classification SISL script in this field to place a PKWARE classification label on a file before it is encrypted. The SISL can be found from Power Classifier for Files. Ignore Filesystem Events: On checking this checkbox, the discovery engine will ignore the changes made to the file by Pre-Encryption Command.
Post Command
This panel allows you to input a post-processing command in the Command field that can be executed on the targeted encrypted file(s). PK Protect will substitute any instance of `%FULLPATH%`, `%DIRECTORY%`, `%FILENAME%`, and '%BASEDIR%' in single-line commands with the respective details of the processed file. These four variables are passed as parameters in multi-line commands, in the order listed above.
- Classification SISL: Input the classification SISL script in this field to place a PKWARE Classification label on an encrypted zip file.
File Remediation Action Template
The File Remediation Template provides a leverage to an administrator to create an existing file remediation action. It reduces the configuration time as it clones the information of the template.
In PEM Administrator, two File Remediation Action templates are used:
- Redact All Supported Credit Cards
- Redact SSNs
Following actions can be performed on the templates:
- View: This allows you to view the details of pre-defined templates.
- Clone: This allows you to copy the configuration of an existing remediation action, which can be edited without impacting the original remediation action.
