Editing Custom Sensitive Data Types

You can edit all fields in custom sensitive data types. Note, however, that when you modify the name or pattern field, these settings change in all intrusion policies on the system. You can set the other options to policy-specific values.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Policies > Access Control > Intrusion

Step 2

Click Snort 2 Version next to the policy you want to edit.

If View (View button) appears instead, the configuration belongs to an ancestor domain, or you do not have permission to modify the configuration.

Step 3

Click Advanced Settings in the navigation panel.

Step 4

If Sensitive Data Detection under Specific Threat Detection is disabled, click Enabled.

Step 5

Click Edit next to Sensitive Data Detection.

Step 6

In the Targets section, click the name of the custom data type.

Step 7

Click Edit Data Type Name and Pattern.

Step 8

Modify the data type name and pattern; see Data Patterns in Custom Sensitive Data Types.

Step 9

Click OK.

Step 10

Set the remaining options to policy-specific values; see Individual Sensitive Data Type Options.

Step 11

To save changes you made in this policy since the last policy commit, click Policy Information in the navigation panel, then click Commit Changes.

If you leave the policy without committing changes, changes since the last commit are discarded if you edit a different policy.
