Carleton has licensed Identity Finder, a software application that scans drives that are connected to your computer, and looks for information that should be considered high risk and helps ensure that it is stored in appropriate locations in appropriate ways. As we begin our move to cloud file storage, it’s an optimal time to use Identity Finder to scan your drives and do a bit of cleanup.
Whether you’re new to Identity Finder, rusty and want to brush up on your skills, or simply want to learn some advanced techniques, we’re offering a hands on session for you to spend some time focusing on file security.
- Learn the differences between shredding, scrubbing, securing, quarantining and ignoring documents.
- Find out how to scan different drives, such as a thumb drive that stores your documents.
- See how to search your documents for various types of personally identifiable information (PII) such as birth dates, phone numbers or even e-mail addresses.
This will be a hands-on question-and-answer session. If you use a laptop, bring it with you so that you can run a scan, ask questions, and get some tips. If you use a desktop, please know that we’ll be meeting in a computer lab. You’ll be able to sign on to a lab computer and run a simulated scan, so that you can bring some new tips and tricks back to your desk after the session.
If you have questions regarding this session, please contact Jeremy Kramer.
