Data At Rest Control Actions

Using Data At Rest control actions, the FSA can copy, move, delete, replace and categorize scanned items:

Copy files to an alternative location

If required, you can copy scanned files to alternative folders. When used in combination with a ‘delete file’ action, a copy action effectively becomes a ‘move file’ action. See the Administration console online help for details; search for ‘scanned files: copying’.

Delete files, including DoD deletions

You can delete scanned files if, for example, policy processing determines them to be unauthorized. DoD deletions ensure deleted files cannot be recovered.

Note: DoD deletions are only supported for file system scans.

Replace deleted or moved files

You can optionally replace deleted files or files that have been moved to a new location with an explanatory stub file to alleviate any user concerns.

Categorize scanned items

If required, you can ensure that scanned items are automatically categorized. If a scanned item causes multiple triggers to fire, CA DataMinder automatically chooses the category with the highest score.

Note: For full details about Data At Rest control actions, see the Policy Guide; search for ‘Intervention setting’.
