Scripts

Administrator Help | TRITON AP-DATA | Version 8.3.x

TRITON AP-DATA provides a list of built-in script classifiers that are written in a high-end development language that mimics natural language: Python. (See NLP Scripts.)

Script classifiers are most often used to classify numeric data such as credit card numbers and Social Security numbers. Because they are Python scripts optimized for this purpose, script classifiers are more accurate than regular expression classifiers. Scripts analyze both content and context using statistical analysis or decision trees.

Note that fingerprinting is better than scripts if you want to detect the exact credit card numbers in your database—for example, your customers' credit card numbers.

If you care about credit cards in general, use the script classifier. Scripts detect any valid credit card number. You may wish to use both with different levels of severity and different actions.

Scripts can also be used to classify software design documents, source code (C, C++, C# and JAVA), SPICE, Verilog (Verilog hardware design source code), and VHDL (VHDL and VHDL AMS hardware design source code).

To view a list of script content classifiers:

Click Main > Policy Management > Content Classifiers.

Select Patterns & Phrases.

Filter the Classifier Type column to display only scripts.

Click Delete to delete the selected classifier or Where Used to view where the classifier is used. The column, Used in a Policy, indicates whether the classifier is used in a policy at all.

You cannot generate your own scripts, but you can edit one, change its parameters, and save it under a new name.

Click a classifier name to view or edit properties.

Be sure to add the classifier to a rule to activate it in your policy.

Upon request, Forcepoint can create a custom classifier for your organization. Talk to your Sales Representative for more details.
