Defining Detection Rules

Now you must create the detection rules that define the types of sensitive data that Nightfall scans and capture any violations.

A detection rule can be one detector or a combination of detectors and confidence levels/findings that will define a violation or finding and record it. The following table defines the rules for detectors.

To learn more about Detection Rules and how to set them up, refer Detection Rules.

Nightfall recommends configuring a simple detection rule to start as shown below.

To select detection rules, select a detection rule from the list of rules that are displayed and then select one of the following options.

  • All Detection Rules: Select this option to include all the detection rules in the policy.

  • Selected Detection Rules: Select this option to include only that detection rule in the policy that you selected above.

  • Unselected Detection Rules: Select this option to include all the other detection rules in the policy, that you did not select above.
