Asset Management Overview

After DSC is enabled, you need to connect your assets to DSC on the Asset Management page to use core security capabilities, including classification and grading, risk assessment, and data masking.

After you authorize access to cloud assets, an agency is created for DSC. You can view and add your data assets in the asset center. For details about how to add assets to DSC, see Table 1.

Supported Database Types and Versions

To add a user-built database, perform the following steps:

  2. Authorizing Access to a Cloud or User-built Database

Cloud database:

  • Relational Database Service (RDS)
  • Data Warehouse Service (DWS)

Before adding a DWS cross-account or cross-VPC instance, you need to create a VPC peering connection between two VPCs of the same account or across different accounts. The peer VPC is the VPC where the DWS instance resides. Then, perform the following steps on DSC:

  1. Adding a Cross-Account or Cross-VPC DWS Instance
  2. Authorizing Access to a Cloud or User-built Database
