Abstract
A system includes a metadata monitor configured to discover and manage metadata associated with a plurality of data protection mechanisms distributed and operating throughout a computing platform, and metadata representing a schema of the computing platform and one or more user applications executed thereon. The system also includes a data protection analytics manager comprising a set of one or more data protection analytics applications configured to determine, from the metadata, which resources are and are not protected by the plurality of data protection mechanisms. For the protected resources, the data protection analytics applications are configured to compute an effectiveness value, and for the non-protected resources, the data protection analytics applications are configure to compute an exposure value. A data protection model can then be adapted in a data protection mechanism-agnostic manner.
