A File Type detector allows you to select MIME (multi-purpose mail extension) types. The selected MIME types are considered as tokens and Nightfall scans your data to identify if there is anything that matches the MIME token. If a match is found, it is flagged as sensitive data.
To create a File Type Detector:
Navigate to the Detectors section from the left pane.
Click + Custom Detector and select File Type.
Enter a name for your custom Detector in the Name field.
(Optional) Enter a description for the Detector in the Description field.
Click Add File Type and select an MIME type.
(Optional) Repeat step 3 to add multiple MIME types to your rule.
(Optional) Click the delete icon to delete an MIME type, if you do not require it.
Click Add.
