Sensitive Data Scanning¶

Sensitive Data Scanning is a technology used to automatically identify and protect sensitive information (such as ID card numbers, bank card numbers, passwords, etc.). It scans data sources like databases, log files, and cloud storage to quickly locate potentially exposed sensitive content. Measures such as masking, replacement, or deletion are then taken to prevent data leakage or misuse.

Use Cases¶

• Discover sensitive information: Use regular expressions (e.g., matching ID card formats) or filtering rules to automatically identify sensitive content within data. For example: finding user phone numbers stored in plaintext from logs.
• Automatically protect data: Perform data masking on sensitive information (e.g., displaying "12345678900" as "123456**"), or directly intercept unencrypted data transmissions.
• Meet compliance requirements: Help enterprises comply with privacy regulations (such as GDPR) and avoid losses caused by data breaches.

Quick Start¶

Create Scanning Rules¶

Directly reuse the official scanning rule library: Quickly enable common sensitive data identification (ID card numbers, bank card numbers, phone numbers, etc.)

Create custom scanning rules: For enterprises with specific sensitive data formats or custom masking requirements

Manage Scanning Rules¶

After rules are created, you can perform operations such as enabling, disabling, editing, and deleting them on the Scanning Rules Management page.
