Working with Agents - Overview
Spirion Agents operate on behalf of the Spirion Console and perform various critical functions. Agents are an important part of the Spirion Sensitive Data Platform architecture.
To learn what an Agent is and what it does, see What is an Agent?
You manage your various Agents on the "Agent Management" page in Spirion Sensitive Data Platform. Your environment may come to employ dozens of Spirion Agents each scanning your environment for sensitive data (PII or SPI).
Some Agents may be responsible for scanning Mac laptops, while others are responsible for scanning SQL databases, File Servers, G-mail accounts, or OneDrive accounts.
The Agent Management page enables you to organize, sort, group, search, and monitor your Agents and their status.
It's important to remember:
- You can create Tags to group your various Agents.
- Tags are a collection of Targets (data sources such as box, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.) or Agents.
- Policies control the behavior of Agents.
