Myrsini wants to identify data that should be classified that already exists in her environment. What type of tool is best suited to identifying data like Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and similar well-understood data formats?

Answer Options

A

Manual searching

B

A sensitive data scanning tool

C

An asset metadata search tool

D

A SOAR

Correct Answer: B

Explanation

Sensitive data scanning tools are designed to scan for and flag sensitive data types using known formatting and structure. Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and other regularly structured data that follows known rules can be identified and then addressed as needed. Manual searching is a massive undertaking for an organization with even a relatively small amount of data; asset metadata needs to be set first and would have already been identified; and a SOAR is used to automate incident response and orchestrate security actions.
