Discovery

FortiCASB classifies data as either data at rest or traffic data. Data at rest is data uploaded onto the cloud application before it has been linked with FortiCASB, while traffic data is any data uploaded after FortiCASB has started monitoring the cloud application.

You can run scans on the data in your cloud platforms to determine their contents. Depending on the policies you set, FortiCASB will classify the data as either sensitive data or non-sensitive data. This can be seen in the Discovery page of each cloud application.

The Discovery page shows basic information about the data in your cloud application, as well as information about the users with access to your data.

If you don't run a manual scan, FortiCASB will scan files on individual basis whenever a user access the file.
