• Connect discovery tools to enterprise databases (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL) to scan schemas and columns for sensitive indicators without impacting database performance.
• Configure scans for massive file repositories (NetApp NAS, QNAP, SharePoint On-Premises), optimizing scan windows and throttling to prevent latency for mission users.
• Utilize Microsoft Purview Data Map and custom connectors to inventory data residing in AWS S3 buckets, Azure Blobs, and Data Lakes.
• Collaborate with mission owners to train Machine Learning (ML) classifiers to recognize unique USSOCOM data types and reduce false positive rates in the data inventory.
