What is Data Classification Software?

Data classification software is designed to help businesses and organizations organize digital information. It is often used to classify large amounts of data into various categories or labels in order to make the information easier to search for and manage. The software usually works by employing machine-learning algorithms to automatically analyze a dataset, determine meaningful patterns within it, and place the data into predefined categories. These categories can then be organized more efficiently, enabling improved searching capabilities and streamlined workflows.

    Protegrity

    Our platform allows businesses to use data—including its application in advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI—to do great things without worrying about putting customers, employees, or intellectual property at risk. The Protegrity Data Protection Platform doesn't just secure data—it simultaneously classifies and discovers data while protecting it. You can't protect what you don't know you have. Our platform first classifies data, allowing users to categorize the type of data that can mostly be in the public domain. With those classifications established, the platform then leverages machine learning algorithms to discover that type of data. Classification and discovery finds the data that needs to be protected. Whether encrypting, tokenizing, or applying privacy methods, the platform secures the data behind the many operational systems that drive the day-to-day functions of business, as well as the analytical systems behind decision-making.

    Salt

    Salt

    Salt Security

    The Salt Security API Security Platform protects APIs across their full lifecycle – build, deploy and runtime phases. Only Salt can capture and baseline all API traffic -- all calls and responses -- over days, weeks, even months. Salt uses this rich context to detect the reconnaissance activity of bad actors and block them before they can reach their objective. The Salt API Context Engine (ACE) architecture discovers all APIs, pinpoints and stops API attackers, and provides remediation insights learned during runtime to harden APIs. Only Salt applies cloud-scale big data to address API security challenges. Salt applies its AI and ML algorithms, which have been in the market for more than four years, to provide real-time analysis and correlation across billions of API calls. That level of context is essential for rich discovery, accurate data classification, and the ability to identify and stop “low and slow” API attacks, which occur over time. On prem solutions simply lack the data.
