Custom sensitivity categories
Custom sensitive data categories may help an organization to protect intellectual property and confidential data specific for that organization by expanding Advanced DLP built-in catalog of compliance regulatory-related content definitions.
To create custom sensitive category
- Log in to the Cyber Protect console as an administrator.
- Navigate to Protection > Data Loss Prevention > Data classifiers.
- Select Sensitivity category.
- You will see a list of sensitivities, both built-in (such as Protected health information or Personally Identifiable Information) and custom ones.
- Click Create Sensitivity in the top right corner of the window.
- Enter its name in the next window.
- New custom sensitivities are always disabled by default. You can enable them once you configure all their parameters.
- After creating new sensitivity, you will need to set up its content detectors. Click an arrow to expand the contents of your new sensitivity and select Add content detector.
- In the next window you can either use any of the existing content detectors (by clicking the checkmark next to their name and then clicking Add in the lower right corner) or define a new one.
- Instead of creating a new sensitivity from scratch you can also reuse existing one (either built-in or existing custom sensitivity) by cloning it and adjusting its parameters.
- To clone an existing sensitivity, click a checkmark next to its name and then select Clone from the Action drop down menu (indicated by an ellipsis) in the top left corner. You can select multiple items at a time to clone more than one sensitivity.
- In the next window you can select which parameters of the existing sensitivity you wish to retain by clicking the checkmarks next to each parameter.
Copying of built-in sensitivities inside one tenant will create a new sensitivity that consists of same detectors (they become Custom once copied)
To create new content detector
- Log in to the Cyber Protect console as an administrator.
- Navigate to Protection > Data Loss Prevention > Data classifiers.
- Select Content detectors.
- You will see a list of content detectors, both built-in and custom ones.
- Click Create content detector in the top right corner of the window.
- A drop-down menu will open, where you can select the type of detector you want to create – at this point only File type content detector is available, more to come in the future updates.
- In the following window you can configure the content detector.
Type of content detector Description File type content detector - There are two lists: Supported file types and Selected file types. By clicking a “plus” icon to the right of the supported file type you will move it to the Selected file types list. You can also select multiple supported file types by clicking on the checkmarks next to their names and then using Add selected button in the top right corner.
- To remove a file type from the Selected file types list, click on a trashcan icon to the right of its name. You can also remove multiple file types at once using checkmarks and Remove selected button.
Keywords content detector - When creating new keywords content detector, you will need to import keywords from a file. After successful importing you can either merge new keywords with the list of existing ones or replace the existing ones with imported keywords.
- You also need to determine if you want the content detector to match all keywords from the list, any keyword from the list or a custom number of keywords.
- Instead of creating a new content detector from scratch you can also reuse an existing one (either built-in or existing custom sensitivity) by cloning it and adjusting its parameters.
- To clone an existing content detector, click a checkmark next to its name and then select Clone from the Action drop down menu (indicated by an ellipsis) in the top left corner. You can select multiple items at a time to clone more than one content detector.
Copying of built-in content detector causes the detector to become custom.
