Classifiers

With Forcepoint ONE Data Security, administrators can use several methods to classify data.

Forcepoint ONE Data Security includes several types of classifiers that can be used to identify and describe the data you want to protect:
  • Use predefined scripts, dictionaries, key phrase, and regular expression (regex) patterns to start classifying data right away.
  • Create customized dictionaries, regular expression patterns, and key phrases for specific (described) data.
  • By File name, type, or size. File name identifies files by their extension. File type identifies files by their magic number (an internal identifier).
  • By File label if a file labeling system such as Forcepoint Data Classification or Microsoft Information Protection is in use.
