The intelligence you need to keep your mission-critical data protected

Everyone knows that data protection and security are mission-critical for businesses today. But how do you manage an ever-growing mountain of files, especially when the data ranges from outdated, irrelevant documents to the most sensitive legal agreements?  

The answer lies in data classification—the key to clarity and control over your data estate. 

The NIST cybersecurity framework places data governance at the heart of a truly cyber-resilient organization. Without a clear understanding of your data, protecting and managing it becomes a major challenge. That’s where NetApp® BlueXP™ classification (formerly Cloud Data Sense) comes in—offering the visibility you need to make smarter decisions about your data. 

How does BlueXP classification help?

By leveraging AI and natural language processing, BlueXP classification helps you organize and analyze your data, no matter how messy it may be. Whether it’s determining what should be replicated for protection or applying NetApp SnapLock® for compliance, this tool provides the intelligence you need to protect your data, no matter where it resides.

Governing your data:

• Map, classify, and categorize your data for visibility and control.
• Perform data hygiene tasks holistically across your hybrid NetApp data estate.

Optimizing your storage:

• Archive stale data.
• Identify and remove nonbusiness and duplicate data.

Accelerating your data migration projects:

• Map data for migration.
• Identify sensitive data before moving to the cloud.

Maintaining regulatory compliance:

• Map personally identifiable information (PII).
• Comply with privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, PCI, and HIPAA.
• Respond quickly to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs).

Preparing your data for generative AI and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG):

• Find and remove irrelevant, stale, or nonbusiness data that can distort results.
• Identify and delete duplicate data to enhance training efficiency and prevent the model from assigning undue importance to it.
• Identify PII and sensitive PII to avoid inadvertent use in training sets and results.
