What is Identity Finder?

Identity Finder is a data manager to assist with managing sensitive data. When engaged, the data manager can locate personally identifiable information (PII) stored on a computer, file shares, or external media. PII is defined as any data that could potentially identify a specific individual. Any information that can be used to distinguish one person from another and can be used for de-anonymizing anonymous data can be considered PII.

This information includes credit card numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers, birthdates, passwords, driver's license numbers, addresses, passport information, employee identification numbers, maiden names, or other data you determine.

Once the information is located on the media, options are presented to manage the data.  Properly managing this type of data reduces sensitive data footprint and minimize the risk for identity theft.
