Configuring and Running Discovery Scans¶

Privacera Discovery scans are used to identify sensitive data in connected data sources.

Discovery scan targets¶

After an application data source has been connected, subsets of that data can be configured as scan targets.

To define a Privacera Discovery scan target:

1. To add specific databases and tables to be scan targets, go to Discovery > Data Source.

2. Click the desired application in the Applications section.

3. Click ADD to define a subset of that Datasource for scanning.

   • Enter the database name (database or for Snowflake database.schema) or wildcard asterisk for all databases.

   • Enter one or more comma-separated table names or wildcard asterisk for all tables. Wildcard asterisks can also be used in table names as prefix, suffix, or inside the name.

Start a scan¶

After a scan target is established, it can be scanned. Each database/table set is listed by row, under Scanning Details. The columns are: Database , Tables , and Actions.

To start a scan, click SCAN RESOURCE.

The following message is displayed:
