Data Loss Prevention

One of our client is persistently asking me to give him the exact details of bandwidth requirement for DLP. I tried to explain to him that it depends upon the policies that they will develop, the number of incidents that are going to generate and wether they want retain attachments or not. But he is concerned that his network bandwidth might not get choked by DLP solution and as such has following questions before he is going to allow deployment of DLP

1) What is the heart beat interval of Endpoint Agents with Endpoint Prevent Server?

2) What is the size of the policy that is deployed on agents?

3) How much bandwidth is needed for the communication between Detection Servers with Enforce  Server?

4) How much bandwidth is needed for the communication between Endpoint Agents with Endpoint Prevent Server for reporting incidents?

I will really appreciate if someone can answer these queries or point me to Documentation where i can find it..

Hi,

Check this Fourms

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/dlp-enforce-and-detection-servers-limits

check the article  49779

there is persistent connection between agent and server

 This heartbeat is 4 bytes on top of the TCP header. 

for bandwidth between server and enforcer check the article 43013

Guys can anyone help me out with these questions

1) What is the size of the policy that is pushed from Enforce?

2) How much bandwidth is needed for the communication between Detection Servers with Enforce Server?

3) How much bandwidth is needed for the communication between Endpoint Agents with Endpoint Prevent Server for reporting incidents?

2) How much bandwidth is needed for the communication between Detection Servers with Enforce Server?

article 43013

3) How much bandwidth is needed for the communication between Endpoint Agents with Endpoint Prevent Server for reporting incidents?

article 43013 , thugh this represents between detection server and the enforcer it will still gives what would be the bandwidth for incident.
