How to turn data profiles on and off in Cortex Cloud Data Classification.
Understand data profile statuses
Data profiles define what constitutes sensitive data for your organization and are applicable to both files and tables. You have the flexibility to enable or disable both out-of-the-box (OOTB) and custom data profiles.
Enabled: When a data profile is enabled, Cortex Cloud Data Classification actively applies its definitions to identify sensitive data.
Disabled: When a data profile is disabled, all data profile results are removed from the object; that is, file or table.
Note
Existing results on past scans are updated in the Asset and Object inventories within two hours after being disabled or enabled.
Disable data profiles
You can disable data profiles that you do not require. Disabled data profiles are not searched for in new scans. Existing results on past scans are updated in the Asset and Object inventories within two hours after being disabled or enabled.
In the lower left part of the screen, click → → → .
Right-click the rows of the data profiles you want to disable, and in the context menu, select Disable.
In the Disable Data Profile screen, click Yes to disable the data profile or profiles that you selected, or click No to cancel. If you click Yes, the data profile will be disabled and appear grayed out. You can enable it again if required, as described below.
Enable data profiles
You can enable data profiles after they have been disabled. Once enabled, within two hours, the profiles are recalculated on the existing data in the Asset and Object inventories. After the new scans calculate these data profiles, the results are then visible in all relevant modules.
Right-click the rows of the disabled data profiles that you want to enable, and in the context menu, click Enable.
In the Enable Data Profile screen, click Yes to enable the data profile or profiles that you selected, or click No to cancel.
