Predefined Tags

CloudAdvisor provides a number of predefined tags. These predefined tags allow it to find quite a bit of sensitive data out of the box. Additionally, the predefined tags can also serve as examples for you to use when defining your own tags. Note you can copy and paste the patterns for these tags into a custom tag and then make modifications.

Note:

Some of the predefined tags also contain a Python function that performs additional validation when CloudAdvisor finds a regex match. For example, the regex for credit card (CC) matches 16-digit numbers in various formats, but not every 16 digit number is a valid credit card number. When CloudAdvisor finds a 16 digit number, the Python validation function for CC performs "Luhn validation" to verify that the number is a valid credit card number. You can see the validation function if you display the tag, but you cannot edit it. Out-of-the-box, CloudAdvisor does not support custom tags with validation functions. If you need this functionality, contact HyTrust Support.

Tags that are country specific are preceded by the country code, for example US_SSN.
