Use Data Discovery to identify sensitive data within an instance, such as credit card information, emails, or social security numbers.

Data Discovery runs a user-defined set of jobs on a set of tables. The jobs search for and report sensitive information for review on the Data Discovery dashboard. A scheduled job automatically uses all active data patterns and target tables when it runs.

Data Discovery also includes pre-allocated roles with varying levels of access to data.
