With the increase of employee-owned devices in the enterprise, there’s also an increasing risk of accidental data leak through apps and services, like email, social media, and the public cloud, which are outside of the enterprise’s control. For example, when an employee sends the latest engineering pictures to their personal email account, copies and pastes product info into a tweet, or saves an in-progress sales report to their public cloud storage.

Enterprise data protection (EDP) helps to protect against this potential data leakage without otherwise interfering with the employee experience. EDP also helps to protect enterprise apps and data against accidental data leak on enterprise-owned devices and personal devices that employees bring to work without requiring changes to your environment or other apps. Finally, another data protection technology, Azure Rights Management also works alongside EDP to extend data protection for data that leaves the device, such as when email attachments are sent from an enterprise-aware version of a rights management mail client.

EDP helps address your everyday challenges in the enterprise. Including:

### EDP-protection modes
|
||||
You can set EDP to 1 of 4 protection and management modes:
|
||||
|
||||
|Mode|Description|
|
||||
|----|-----------|
|
||||
|Block |EDP looks for inappropriate data sharing practices and stops the employee from completing the action. This can include sharing enterprise data to non-enterprise-protected apps in addition to sharing enterprise data between apps or attempting to share outside of your organization’s network.|

|Block |EDP looks for inappropriate data sharing practices and stops the employee from completing the action. This can include sharing info across non-enterprise-protected apps in addition to sharing enterprise data between apps or attempting to share outside of your organization’s network.|
|
||||
|Override |EDP looks for inappropriate data sharing, warning employees if they do something deemed potentially unsafe. However, this management mode lets the employee override the policy and share the data, logging the action to your audit log, accessible through the [Reporting CSP](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=746459). |
|
||||
|Silent |EDP runs silently, logging inappropriate data sharing, without blocking anything that would’ve been prompted for employee interaction while in Override mode. Unallowed actions, like apps inappropriately trying to access a network resource or EDP-protected data, are still blocked.|
|
||||
|Off |EDP is turned off and doesn't help to protect or audit your data.<p>After you turn off EDP, an attempt is made to decrypt any closed EDP-tagged files on the locally attached drives. |

|
||||
|
||||
- **Copying or downloading enterprise data.** When an employee or an app downloads content from a location like SharePoint, a network share, or an enterprise web location, while using an EDP-protected device, EDP encrypts the data on the device.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Using allowed apps.** Managed apps (apps that you've included on the protected apps list in your EDP policy) are allowed to access your enterprise data and will interact differently when used with unallowed, non-enterprise aware, or personal-only apps. For example, if EDP management is set to **Block**, your employees can copy and paste from one protected app to another protected app, but not to personal apps. Imagine an HR person wants to copy a job description from a protected app to the internal career website, an enterprise-protected location, but goofs and tries to paste into a personal app instead. The paste action fails and a notification pops up, saying that the app couldn’t paste because of a policy restriction. The HR person then correctly pastes to the career website without a problem.

|

- **Managed apps and restrictions.** With EDP you can control which apps can access and use your enterprise data. After adding an app to your protected apps list, the app is trusted with enterprise data. All apps not on this list are blocked from accessing your enterprise data, depending on your EDP management-mode.<p>You don’t have to modify line-of-business apps that never touch personal data to list them as protected apps; just include them in your protected apps list.

|
||||
- **Deciding your level of data access.** EDP lets you block, allow overrides, or audit employees' data sharing actions. Blocking the action stops it immediately. Allowing overrides let the employee know there's a risk, but lets him or her continue to share the data while recording and auditing the action. Silent just logs the action without blocking anything that the employee could've overridden while using that setting; collecting info that can help you to see patterns of inappropriate sharing so you can take educative action or find apps that should be added to your protected apps list.

- **Data encryption at rest.** EDP helps protect enterprise data on local files and on removable media.<p>Apps such as Microsoft Word work with EDP to help continue your data protection across local files and removable media. These apps are being referred to as, enterprise aware. For example, if an employee opens EDP-encrypted content from Word, edits the content, and then tries to save the edited version with a different name, Word automatically applies EDP to the new document.

- **Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to public spaces.** EDP helps protect your enterprise data from being accidentally shared to public spaces, such as public cloud storage. For example, if Dropbox™ isn’t on your protected apps list, employees won’t be able to sync encrypted files to their personal cloud storage. Instead, if the employee stores the content to an app on your protected apps list, like Microsoft OneDrive for Business, the encrypted files can sync freely to the business cloud, while maintaining the encryption locally.

|

- **Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to removable media.** EDP helps prevent enterprise data from leaking when it's copied or transferred to removable media. For example, if an employee puts enterprise data on a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive that also has personal data, the enterprise data remains encrypted while the personal data doesn’t.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Remove access to enterprise data from enterprise-protected devices.** EDP gives admins the ability to revoke enterprise data from one or many MDM-enrolled devices, while leaving personal data alone. This is a benefit when an employee leaves your company, or in the case of a stolen device. After determining that the data access needs to be removed, you can unenroll the device so when it connects to the network, the user's encryption key for the device is revoked and the enterprise data becomes unreadable.<p>**Note**<br>System Center Configuration Manager also allows you to revoke enterprise data. However, it does it by performing a factory reset of the device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current limitations with EDP
|
||||
EDP is still in development and is not yet integrated with Azure Rights Management. This means that while you can deploy an EDP-configured policy to a protected device, that protection is restricted to a single user on the device. Additionally, the EDP-protected data must be stored on NTFS, FAT, or ExFAT file systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the following table to identify the scenarios that require Azure Rights Management, the behavior when Azure Rights Management is not used with EDP, and the recommended workarounds.
|
||||
|
||||
|EDP scenario |Without Azure Rights Management |Workaround |
|
||||
|-------------|--------------------------------|-----------|
|
||||
|Saving enterprise data to USB drives |Data in the new location remains encrypted, but becomes inaccessible on other devices or for other users. For example, the file won't open or the file opens, but doesn't contain readable text. |Share files with fellow employees through enterprise file servers or enterprise cloud locations. If data must be shared via USB, employees can decrypt protected files, but it will be audited.<p>We strongly recommend educating employees about how to limit or eliminate the need for this decryption. |
|
||||
|Synchronizing data to other services or public cloud storage |Synchronized files aren't protected on additional services or as part of public cloud storage. |Stop the app from synchronizing or don't add the app to your **Protected App** list.<p>For more info about adding apps to the **Protected App** list, see either the [Create an enterprise data protection (EDP) policy using Intune](create-edp-policy-using-intune.md) or the [Create and deploy an enterprise data protection (EDP) policy using Configuration Manager](create-edp-policy-using-sccm.md) topic, depending on your management solution.
