after a long week of supporting their online wine and chocolate businesses Bob and DJ get together to enjoy a Friday night happy hour at their favorite Pub but sometimes when you're an IT Pro your work week never ends it's Bob's boss the CIO calling she asked if Bob is watching the news their marketing department captured driver's license data from a few thousand customers in the wine giveaway they ran earlier this year and she's worried it may become compromised too she needs them to do a full analysis of all files right away in data center shares cloud reposit atories and databases to see if they have any license numbers visible in their files if that data gets into the wrong hands they may make the news too not to mention the potential for huge fines Bob apologizes to DJ for having to go his weekend fund is over before it even begins Bob doesn't even know where to look first he didn't create the data how is he going to find the driver's license numbers in it if he had hair he'd be pulling it out this is like trying to find specific needles in a hay stack and he can't even see the whole hay stack bob spends all weekend manually analyzing data doing searches and emailing file owners with a proper data visibility and classification he's drowning in a sea of disorganized information making his work inefficient and prone to accuracy errors by Monday morning he has located and safeguarded only 12 driver's license numbers he still has days if not weeks to go meanwhile DJ also hears from her CIO about the exposed driver's license numbers but no need to pull out her hair she has blue XP classification to automate the discovery of personal and sensitive data she started using blue XP classification last year when she needed a way to automatically find critical business files containing her proprietary chocolate formula so she could keep them safe she now uses it to govern all of her data so she can better protect it and comply with regulations and business policies DJ doesn't think her organization is storing driver's license numbers because blue XP classification gives her complete data visibility and she doesn't recall seeing any in the list of stored personal information but to be sure she logs in to check nope no driver's license numbers are being stored but she did find files with proprietary business info and an open share and so she set an automated policy to be alerted about this in the future then she moves those files to an encrypted protected share with the help of blue XP classification DJ found the answer she was looking for within seconds and she found an unrelated problem and fixed it immediately her systematic approach to proactively preventing incidents before they occur puts her mind at ease and lets her get back to her pina colada she's ready to enjoy the weekend thanks to net app
