Introduction to Privacera Discovery
Introduction¶
Privacera Discovery crawls through various data assets, such as databases and files, collectively referred to as data sources. It scans these sources to identify sensitive information, including credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and other personal, restricted, or confidential data.
Privacera Discovery classifies and labels this information to create a comprehensive catalog of your sensitive data. You can review these classifications to accept or reject them, or refine the scanning process using rules, dictionaries, models, and patterns.
