Sensitive Data Scanner¶

The sensitive data scanner is a technology used to automatically identify and protect sensitive information (such as ID numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, etc.). It scans data sources like databases, log files, and cloud storage to quickly find potentially exposed sensitive content and takes measures such as hiding, replacing, or deleting to prevent data leakage or misuse.

Use Cases¶

• Discover sensitive information: Use regular expressions (e.g., matching ID formats) or filtering rules to automatically identify sensitive content in the data. For example, finding plaintext-stored user phone numbers from logs;
• Automatically protect data: Desensitize sensitive information (e.g., display "12345678900" as "123**8900") or directly intercept unencrypted data transmission;
• Meet compliance requirements: Help enterprises comply with privacy regulations (such as GDPR), avoiding losses caused by data breaches.
