UVA Default Configuration for Version 5.x or Higher
For the UVA computing environment, Identity Finder has been configured to search for sensitive data as comprehensively as possible while limiting the number of false positives. The table below describes the UVa configuration settings.
Of particular note, files with one (1) unformatted SSN are excluded from the search as are files bigger than 100 megabytes. Also, in contrast to the previous version, email including MBOX is searched. This configuration of Identity Finder can shred files with the read-only flag set.
If you have any questions about these settings, please contact the Information Technology Security group.
