How to Use Remediation Settings

This topic describes the various options under the Remediation section of the Scans Settings page in Spirion Sensitive Data Platform.

How to Use Remediation Settings

To use Remediation settings, use the following steps:

  1. From the left side navigation menu, click Settings > Application Settings > Scans Settings.
  2. The Scans Settings page opens.
  3. Click the down arrow to expand the Remediation section.

  4. Complete the following fields:
  • Synchronize Classification Changes With Targets:
    • Enabled: Manual classification changes made to sensitive data matches on the Scan Results page of the Spirion console are synchronized with the endpoint (target).
      • This service task synchronizes the classifications between the database and agent.
        • For example, a "Public Classification" applied to a SSN number match in the Results page of the Console displays on the file in the Agent (using the Synchronize Classifications service task).
    • Disabled: No synchronization is performed
  • Classification Overlay Shape:
    • The shape of the classification overlay that displays when the Display Classification Icons setting is disabled or when there are no icons loaded for a classification.
    • Options:
      • Circle (default)
      • Square
  • Use This Algorithm When Creating File Hashes:
    • When using file hashes for Global Ignore Lists or adding file hashes to search locations in a policy, it is possible to specify the algorithm to be used for the hashing.
    • Changing this setting after hashes have been created invalidates any existing hashes.
    • The Console and all endpoints must be configured, in unison, to use the same file hashing algorithm.
    • The hash algorithm can be specified for endpoints with the following policy setting: Settings\Actions\Ignore\FileHash
    • Default algorithm: MD5

Quarantine Settings
