With Forensics, you can see all the information you need in terms of what your users are doing in the cloud and what you should be looking at. When a violation is found, the object is placed in a forensics folder so you can review the specific types of sensitive data that are exposed. An automated cloud policy enforcement program is necessary for getting to a quick resolution and remediation.
To use forensics, you need to:
- Configure API Data Protection for the public cloud service you want to store forensics data.
- Create a forensic profile to define the destination folder in which files that violate DLP policies can be stored.
- Enable the forensic profile.
- Review the violations within specific files and take remedial action by contacting users and managing files in the forensics folder.
