Description
Full data classification scans are essential for depth, but their resource-intensive nature often creates bottlenecks in both bandwidth and time. This initiative aims to develop a “fast-path” classification process that provides a high-level overview of your sensitive data exposure without the overhead of a comprehensive scan.
-
Increase Time to Value: Decrease the time-to-insight for sensitive data identification by focusing on an optimized sampling technique to focus on desired areas.
-
High-Level Visibility: Deliver a prioritized insights showing sensitive information across data assets to helps you focus on where deep scanning is most needed to prioritize your data governance efforts.
Problem
Full data classification scans are very thorough, scan through each and every document within scope for the application. This can not only require significant resourcing to ensure the bandwidth to support the scanning but also take a significant amount of time to complete. Customers are looking for a lighter, faster process which can provide them an high level overview of where and what type of sensitive information may be accumulated in their data assets.
Solution
Discover your sensitive data landscape in a fraction of the time. Using sampling rate technology, our new classification option, now gives you a high-level map of your data assets with minimal impact on your network resources. You’ll instantly identify risk “hot spots” and see exactly what types of sensitive data reside in your environment. With this bird’s-eye view, you can strategically prioritize your efforts, deploying comprehensive, deep-dive scans exactly where they are needed most.
This feature will be enabled by default for all newly on-boarded applications with a default sampling ratio of 10%. Simply navigate to Admin > Applications. Upon clicking Add New (application) and navigating to the Data Classification configuration screen
Newly created applications
Any currently on-boarded application which has Data Classification enabled will default to 100% sampling size to ensure consistency with current settings.
Existing Applications
Once the application has been created or to adjust any current application settings, simply navigate to Compliance > Data Classification > Application Scope. Locate the application and click Edit. A new Sampling Ratio section has been added as a sliding scale to adjust up or down based on your needs.
Who is affected?
All customers with a DAS tenant. Please note, any currently on-boarded application which has data classification enabled will default to 100% sampling size.
