About the Data Discovery Report
The Data Discovery Report gives high-level visibility and insight into your organization's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) content, allowing you to monitor and analyze DLP data in a single location. The report provides not only information based on your organization's DLP policies and dictionaries, but also on machine-learning data based on Zscaler analysis of the content in your organization.
The report contains a combination of static and interactive widgets. The latter allow you to click items on charts so you can instantly jump from a high-level chart to more granular information.
The Data Discovery Report provides the following benefits and allows you to:
- See a summary of different types of DLP data in a single location.
- Drill down as needed to see a more granular view of your data.
- Use machine learning from the Zscaler service to gain insight into your data.
