Abstract
For the problem that unstructured data is widespread, not under the centralized management of data resource management platform, and currently the safety monitoring of unstructured data is only for a part of data creation, transmission and destruction, lacking a data security management view with a whole life cycle, which is difficult to track data breaches and other security incidents, this paper studies that through log audit records and analysis report, it establishes a safety management view with a whole life cycle of unstructured data to effectively solve the problem of data breaches and other security incidents which cannot be traced. It uses unique file identifiers for the tracking of the whole lifecycle of unstructured data, establishes an evidence chain of the whole life cycle of the creation, transmission, access and destruction of data assets. It aims at providing analytical basis and forensic data support for events occurring at each aspect of data assets, and facilitating the tracking of data breaches and other security incidents, which has improved the accuracy and real-time of data monitoring.
