Operations

Each token that is added to a detector is related to the other tokens like an OR condition. AND conditions are not available detectors, but this functionality can be configured indirectly through the data asset registry or directly through RegEx pattern matching.

Why it is different to Pattern Matching?

Detectors work differently to Pattern Matching in a number of ways. Firstly, they can scan the entire contents of a document and path name for keywords while a traditional regex search is limited to searching through the first X amount of words across all documents. Detectors leverage advanced AI and ML techniques such as Fuzzy Word Search and Percolation Search in order to search for phrases across an entire document in a fraction of the time it would take to search with Pattern Matching.
