Data Security Finding

data_security_finding

A Data Security Finding describes detections or alerts generated by various data security products such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Data Classification, Secrets Management, Digital Rights Management (DRM), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and similar tools. These detections or alerts can be created using fingerprinting, statistical analysis, machine learning or other methodologies. The finding describes the actors and endpoints who accessed or own the sensitive data, as well as the resources which store the sensitive data. Note: if the event producer is a security control, the security_control profile should be applied and its attacks information, if present, should be duplicated into the finding_info object. Note: If the Finding is an incident, i.e. requires incident workflow, also apply the incident profile or aggregate this finding into an Incident Finding.
