Re: IdentityFinder - Data Discovery Software

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Hi Carlos,

The Information Security Guide includes a case study on the use of IdentityFinder at the University of Pennsylvania: 
https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/itsg2/Identity+Finder+at+The+University+of+Pennsylvania

The Confidential Data Handling BLueprint (also part of the guide) includes a list of tools that institutions use, 
including the Cornell University Spider, UT-Austin Sensitive Number Finder (SENF), and Virginia Tech's Find_SSNs.

Thank you,
Valerie

Hello All,



Here at New Mexico State University we are thinking in evaluating IdentityFinder, but we would like to hear from those 
of you who are using another similar tool.



If you are using a tool similar to IdentityFinder please let us know the name of the tool, how long you have had it and 
if you are satisfied.



Thanks in advance,
