Data Risk Management
Data Risk is evaluated on aspects such as data access, sharing, syncing, and more. You can set weightings for attributes such as file sharing limits or data retention period for effective data risk management across the enterprise.
Data Risk Attributes
The Data Risk score is calculated out of the following categories, attributes, and values defined by Skyhigh CASB.
