Barracuda Data Inspector
See for yourself how Barracuda Data Inspector automatically scans and remediates your OneDrive for Business and SharePoint data for sensitive information and malicious files. SharePoint and OneDrive deployments can improperly store sensitive data, such as Social Security numbers, credit card information, network credentials, and more—putting your data at risk. With Barracuda Data Inspector, you see exactly what kind of data has been found, whether it has been shared internally or externally, and where it’s located. You can remediate that data – unshare it, quarantine it, or delete it entirely. Data Inspector also identifies sensitive information in images, including photos, screenshots, and document scans. You can further customize by creating your own data classifiers, and identify specific information types, such as employee or student IDs, project codenames, and other proprietary information.
