  • Patent number: 8769200
    Abstract: Examples of methods, systems, and computer-readable media for detection of sensitive information on hierarchical storage management mainframes are described using multiple techniques. The techniques may include determining if data has been migrated from a first storage medium to a second storage medium, recalling the migrated data from a second storage medium to the first storage medium, reading the migrated data, then re-migrating the data to the second storage medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2014
    Assignee: Xbridge Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Jack E. Steitz, Pierre R. Fichaud, Martin D. Casey, Benjamin R. Bolton, James M. Sagawa
  • Patent number: 8745053
    Abstract: Examples of methods, systems, and computer-readable media for managing mainframe overhead during detection of sensitive information are described using multiple techniques. The techniques may include manipulating a scan definition, defining scan parameters and limitations, utilizing user-supplied scan filters, and using a redrive operation. The redrive operation may include halting one or more analysis requests associated with scan definitions, storing a redrive position for each analysis request, and resuming the servicing of analysis requests at the redrive position for each request.

  • Publication number: 20120226677
    Abstract: Examples of methods, systems, and computer-readable media for detection of sensitive information are described using multiple techniques. The techniques may include applying pre-defined field structure layouts to records, applying simple template structure to records as a single field, and inferring data structure by building a map of potential packed decimal locations. The resulting information may then be analyzed for detection of sensitive information.
