Abstract

Sensitive file accessing trends can be visually represented. In one embodiment, the present invention includes receiving, in a graphical user interface (GUI), a first user input indicating a selection of one folder from a plurality of folders, and identifying a plurality of sensitive files in the selected folder using one or more data loss prevention policies. In one embodiment access usage data for the sensitive files can be obtained and the number of users accessing the sensitive files within a plurality of time intervals can be determined using the access usage data. Finally, a usage trend representation comprising a visual illustration of the number of users accessing the sensitive files within each of the plurality of time intervals can be displayed to a user.
