Minimal Likelihood

Whenever the DLP engine detects a possible data leak, it assigns the detection a Likelihood level. Likelihood levels are mostly affected by context around the detected strings.

For example, when a Social Security Number (SSN) is discovered, the DLP engine also checks for the presence of relevant strings close to the discovered pattern, i.e., "SSN" or "Social Security."

Likelihood scale:

  • Very Unlikely

  • Unlikely

  • Possible

  • Likely

  • Very Likely
