Sensitive Data Detection

Feature Demo: Sensitive Data Detection

If this setting is enabled by an Application Admin on the App Settings page, Immuta will automatically discover sensitive data and tag those columns when the data source is created.

For more information about this feature, see the Sensitive Data Detection section on the Tags Overview page.
