What is the definition of "Corporate Network" when setting up exceptions in endpoint DLP ?

Question

Hello,

does anyone here know what "Corporate Network" means in Purview Information Protection's endpoint DLPs ? I can't find it in the settings, neither can I find a precise definition except "connection to corporate ressources".

As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-configure-endpoint-settings

Under the Network restrictions setting, you will also see Corporate network as an option. Corporate network connections are all connections to your organizations resources. You can see if device is using a Corporate network by running the Get-NetConnectionProfile cmdlet as an administrator. If the NetworkCategoryId in the output is DomainAuthenticated, it means the machine is connected to the Corporate network. If the output is anything else, the machine is not .

In addition to the above information, With respect to the Purview Information Protection's endpoint DLPs, "Corporate Network" likely refers to the network or networks that are owned and managed by the organization using Purview Information Protection.

This could include the organization's internal network, as well as any external networks or cloud services that are used by the organization and are considered part of the corporate network.

The endpoint DLPs in Purview Information Protection are designed to help organizations protect sensitive data that is stored on endpoints such as laptops, desktops, and mobile devices. By defining policies that specify which data should be protected and how it should be protected, organizations can help prevent data breaches and other security incidents.

The "Corporate Network" setting in the endpoint DLPs may be used to specify which networks or network segments are considered part of the organization's corporate network, and therefore subject to the DLP policies. This can help ensure that sensitive data is protected regardless of where it is stored or accessed within the corporate network.
