DLP and Safe Boot

Several months back, we were testing DLP policies and were having problems with copying executable filetypes to removable media. When I opened a ticket about this, I was informed that for DLP to work "properly", we would have to disable Safe Boot in the BIOS. Does anyone know if this has changed, or if this is expected to change?

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately, DLP does not support secure boot. Please find more details in the below listed article

I'm aware that they're not compatible. I'd like to know if this will change at any point, or if I should look at other DLP vendors that can work with Safe Boot.

Hi Robert,

I reached out to our Product managers and received the following information:

Sophos has a working prototype to address this issue, however, we do not have an integration ETA as of now (the desired time-frame is this current fiscal year).
