A cloud security architect is deploying a data discovery solution across a large object storage repository containing millions of unstructured files uploaded by many business units. The organization needs to identify files containing PII even when the files were never tagged, poorly named, or stored in unexpected buckets. Which data discovery approach BEST meets this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Content-based discovery that inspects the actual data within files using pattern matching and lexical analysis

Answer

Metadata-based discovery that relies on file names, extensions, and storage tags to locate sensitive data

Answer

Location-based discovery that scans only the buckets designated for regulated data
