Predefined data filtering patterns serve as predefined sets of rules
and signatures designed to identify and categorize various types of data based
on patterns, content, or metadata. These patterns encompass a wide range of
data, including personally identifiable information (PII), financial data,
healthcare records, intellectual property, and more. By applying these patterns,
your configuration can enforce specific security rules based on the
identified data categories.
To comply with standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act,
predefined data patterns are available. You can use these patterns to prevent
common types of sensitive information, like credit cards and social security
numbers, from leaving your network.
