AI-assisted identification of unstructured data

When the Data Type is configured as OBS, AI-assisted identification of unstructured data can be enabled. This feature utilizes a proprietary natural language processing engine for scanning and supplementary identification, facilitating automated data processing. When activated, built-in rules are verified by AI-assisted algorithms to further reduce the false positive rate.

Policy Center

  • Policy baseline: The policy baseline is a structured set of data security policies, encompassing data security management regulations, data classification and grading requirements, cross-border data transfer management regulations, and requirements for important and core data. DSC provides preset policy templates based on Huawei Cloud's data security governance experience and supports policy addition, deletion, modification, query, structured display, filtering, and querying.

  • Log collection: DSC collects logs from applications (including DBSS and API Data Security) to assist in tracking data flow and promptly identifying exceptions and risks.

  • Policy management: The administrator creates policies for database audit, encryption, watermarking, static masking, and dynamic masking on the policy management page of the policy center, and then deploys these policies to the relevant services or instances.

Event Management

DSC integrates with key security components, including Database Audit, Cloud Bastion Host, API Security, Database Encryption and Access Control, and Database O&M, enabling centralized event management and real-time event delivery to DSC. This allows users to promptly verify and handle events. You can also convert alarms on the Alarm Management page to events.

Security Awareness Large Screen

There are always such scenarios as presentation, reporting, or real-time monitoring where you need to present the analysis results of DSC on large screens to achieve better demonstration effect. It is not ideal to just zoom in the console. Now, DSC Large Screen is a good choice for you to display the service console on bigger screens for a better visual effect.

By default, DSC provides an integrated situational awareness dashboard that presents a thorough analysis of risky assets, identification, masking, and watermarking tasks, as well as events and alarms in the cloud. This dashboard facilitates swift recognition and response to the overall status of assets, including addressing risky assets and urgent alarms.
