Disclosed systems and methods identify a data record set and determine whether one or more predetermined conditions exist for triggering analysis of one or more records in the data record set. Disclosed embodiments trigger the analysis only in response to determining that the predetermined conditions have been met. Upon triggering the analysis of the data record set, disclosed embodiments identify a subset of the data record set to undergo the analysis while refraining from performing the analysis on the remaining records in the data record set. Further, embodiments identify an analysis model based on a level of analysis to be performed and apply the analysis model to the subset of the data record set to identify any presence of sensitive data. Lastly, disclosed embodiments selectively perform a security process to the data record set in response to detecting the presence of the sensitive data.

Telemetry sampling scanning for exposed secrets and other sensitive data

Techniques for (i) using contextual information associated with an exposed credential to identify a resource that could be accessed using the exposed credential, (ii) identifying a responsible entity of that resource, and (iii) alerting the responsible entity about the exposed credential are disclosed. A credential is determined to be in an exposed state. The exposed credential, if used, could potentially provide an actor access to a resource, despite the fact that the actor should not have access to the resource. The exposed credential is analyzed to determine a context. Based on that context, the resource is identified. A responsible entity associated with the resource is identified. An alert is then sent to that entity.
