Identifying when to use trainable classifiers
When do you use trainable classifiers? Well, to answer that, we will need to revisit the different options we have at our disposal to classify data in our environment:
- Manually: The responsibility of classifying the data falls on the end user or the administrator, using the sensitivity labels created in the previous chapter, Chapter 3, Creating and Managing Sensitive Information Types.
- Automated pattern matching: Automated pattern matching includes finding content by using the following:
a. Metadata values or keywords
b. Sensitive information types to identify data
c. Document fingerprinting to recognize data
d. Exact data match by finding the presence of exact strings
- Trainable classifiers: The classification method of trainable classifiers is very well suited for content that is not easily identified by automated pattern matching or the manual approach.
As the list makes it...
