  • Confidence level threshold selection assistance for a data loss prevention system using machine learning
    Patent number: 9691027
    Abstract: Machine-learning based detection (MLD) profiles can be used to identify sensitive information in documents. The MLD profile can be used to generate a confidence value for the document that expresses the degree of confidence with which the MLD profile can classify the document as sensitive or not. In one embodiment, a data loss prevention system provides or suggests a confidence level threshold to a user of the data loss prevention system by providing a confidence level threshold for the MLD profile to the user, the confidence level threshold to be used as the boundary between sensitive data and non-sensitive data. In one embodiment the provided confidence level threshold is determined by scanning a random data set using the MLD profile.
