Storage of Detected Strings

When the DLP engine matches strings to a DLP Data Type, Avanan stores these strings and displays them for administrators with sufficient permissions when they investigate the security events.

Since these strings are considered sensitive and private end-user data, you can select how they are stored and presented in the system called Detected Text Storage Mode.

To update Detected Text Storage Mode:

  1. Click Security Settings > Security Engines.
  2. Click Configure for SmartDLP.
  3. Scroll down to Detected Text Storage Mode and select one of these options.
    1. Store detected text strings (default): This is the default option, and the detected data is saved and displayed on the security events for the forensic process.
    2. Obfuscate detected text prior to storage: Detected data is saved and displayed on the security events obfuscated. The original data is discarded and cannot be accessed.
    3. Do not store detected text: No detected data is stored or displayed on the security events.
  4. Click Save.
