About detecting input of sensitive data into websites
You can configure FortiMail Browser Security to detect when an end-user enters sensitive data into a website, and to then warn the end-user about the potential dangers.
-
This functionality is available for domain-based, category-based, and group-based website rules.
-
When a warning is displayed to an end-user about detection of sensitive data, an entry is also added to the Extension Activity log. For details, see Events Page.
-
The warning that is displayed is a warning only - it doesn't prevent the entry of the sensitive data into the website.
|
Note: Although the functionality described on this page can be used on all types of websites, the functionality was developed primarily for Generative AI websites. Full support for non-Generative AI sites will be added in the future. Until then, some unexpected behavior may occur with non-generative AI sites. |
Monitored data types
FortiMail Browser Security detects - and then displays a warning - when the following types of data are entered into a website:
|
1 |
Credit card numbers |
|
2 |
Email addresses |
|
3 |
US Social Security Numbers |
|
4 |
Phone numbers |

6 |

AWS keys and tokens |

8 |

Note: In most scenarios, warnings to end-users will be triggered - and then displayed - only if the sensitive text to detect is accompanied by additional "context" text. |
