Watermark Policy Configuration and Deployment Guide
The Watermark Policy in Ulaa Enterprise helps organizations protect sensitive information by displaying customizable text or image-based watermarks on specified websites. Dynamic placeholders can be used to automatically display user, device, profile, and time-related information, making it easier to trace screenshots, screen recordings, printed documents, or unauthorized sharing of sensitive content. The configured watermark is also applied when supported web pages are printed, providing an additional layer of data protection and traceability.
Configure a Watermark
1. Go to Policies → DLP → Watermark → Click Configure Watermark.
