Abstract
Method, system, and storage medium for reducing or minimizing access to sensitive information. A method includes identifying processes and data associated with a computer system and classifying each of the data as one of either sensitive information or non-sensitive information. The sensitive information includes at least one of: data that is personal to an individual, confidential data, and data that is legally subject to conditions of restricted use. For each of the processes the method includes selecting a process and a sensitive data item, modifying the sensitive data item, analyzing the behavior of at least the selected process, and preventing access of the sensitive data item by the selected process if, as a result of the analyzing, the sensitive data item is determined not to be needed by the selected process.
