First steps to using Trellix DLP Discover in a new environment.
To collect metadata from the files in your organization's repositories, run an inventory scan. The scan results help you understand which files reside in the repositories.
Configure classifications to detect classified or sensitive information. Use these classifications to define and run a classification scan.
Use the results of the classification scan to see where sensitive information resides.
Configure a remediation scan to encrypt sensitive files or move them to a more secure repository.
Continue to run scans regularly and monitor scan results and any incidents generated. Refine scans based on the results or changes in your organization's policy.
Registered documents have a significant RAM impact. Run registration scans only on the most sensitive repositories.
