SCAN SURFACE REDUCTION FOR SENSITIVE INFORMATION SCANNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17733530 titled 'SCAN SURFACE REDUCTION FOR SENSITIVE INFORMATION SCANNING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application discusses devices, systems, and methods for reducing the scanning surface in sensitive information scanning. - The method involves receiving a document and using an evidence checker to determine if there is a keyword indicating sensitive information present in the document. - If the keyword is found, a sensitive information scanner uses a regular expression associated with the sensitive information type to determine if sensitive information is present in the document. - If sensitive information is detected, a sensitive information mitigation operation is performed to mitigate the sensitive information.
Original Abstract Submitted
Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for scan surface reduction in sensitive information scanning. A method can include receiving a document, determining, by an evidence checker, a keyword that indicates sensitive information of a sensitive information type, is present in the document, responsive to determining the keyword is present, determining, by a sensitive information scanner and based on a regular expression associated with the sensitive information type, that sensitive information is present in the document, and performing a sensitive information mitigation operation to mitigate the sensitive information.
