Abstract
A system for automated sensitive information discovery, monitoring, and remediation using an agent associated to a data source and including: a module detecting the occurrence of events indicative of access to data; an module identifying the events classified as potentially threatening; a module extracting data associated to each potentially threatening event; and a module performing data analysis of the extracted data and determining a sensitivity score for the data to file associated to the potentially threatening event. The system also comprises a central platform in data communication with the agent and including: a module analyzing data received from the agent and identifying a potential security risk relative to one of a user or group of users associated to the data source, the data source, a specific file or a specific data type stored on the data source; and a control module triggering remediation actions upon detection of a security risk.
