Data Classifiers
A data classifier is a defined data pattern with a set of data types and logic conditions that a policy (see Policies) maps to when recognizing patterns in files. FortiData provides built-in data classifiers defined for specific data types and regions that meet specific industry needs. You can also create a new data classifier from scratch or copy from an existing data classifier.
To create a new data classifier:
-
To create a data classifier from scratch, click Add Classifier.
To build from an existing data classifier, click the eclipsis in front of the data classifier name and select Derive Classifier (for built-in classifiers) or Copy Classifier (for custom classifiers).
-
Specify the classifier name and select the sensitivity.
-
Add notes, if needed.
-
Select the classifier type, which can be the following:
- Simple—Select conditions based on data type, AI classification, data fingerprinting, or file attributes.
- Composite—Combine existing built-in and / or custom data classifiers.
-
For simple classifiers, select the data classification method(s), logic relationships, and the data types for each method.
For composite classifiers, select the data classifier type(s) and the classifiers for each type. Select the logic to apply to the classifiers.
- AND—The data must match all selected classifier conditions to be considered a match.
-
OR—The data must match at least one selected classifier condition to be considered a match.
-
Add or remove classifiers as needed.
-
Click DONE.
