Path Detectors

Identify and classify files based on their directory location and file extensions. Useful for organizing and cataloging files by storage location and file extensions.

Adding new detectors

  1. In order to set this up, navigate to Administration > Detectors.
  2. On the Path Detectors tab, click New Detector button. This opens the following Create new Query dialog.

  3. Select one of Regex, Keywords, or Extensions. This defines where the search base of the detector will look (i.e. search through the contents of a file or the file path).
  4. In the Contain field set the relevant keywords that might trigger a detector hit in a potentially sensitive document, such as Salary, Compensation Package, Payslip, Payroll, Compensation Structure, or OTE.
  5. If there are terms that the Detector is set to ignore then set them in the Not Contain field.
  6. Click the Enabled button to turn on and click Save.
  7. The new detector should now be visible in the list of Detectors.

Later, you can also use the controls - to edit, delete, enable/disable detectors previously created.

Note: Any changes to detectors are applied to all scans (including running scans) but past scan results (including those in a running scan) remain unaffected.

Importing Detectors

Note: Detectors are installed by default through the Quick Start page so importing them is normally not required. However, to import detectors follow the steps below.

  1. Navigate to Administration > Detectors.
  2. Click Import from file.
  3. Select the detectors file to import. A new set of detectors will be imported into your environment.

Similarly, you can click the EXPORT button to export a list of detectors.
