CipherTrust Intelligent Protection

This document describes the CipherTrust Intelligent Protection (CIP) solution. The document explains how Intelligent Protection can be used by customers to Discover and Protect their sensitive data. Customers can run the DDC Scan to identify the sensitive data located on different Data Stores. Next, they can configure CTE Policy and GuardPoint to protect their data based on the information discovered by DDC. This integration between DDC and CTE provides an Intelligent way to protect data based on sensitivity.

It is assumed, for this document, that you have already configured the CipherTrust Manager appliance. Refer to CipherTrust Manager Administration for details.
