UIT is rolling out and offering an Identity Finder console version that provides a view of scan results for your entire department, school, or division. The new system will allow Information Stewards to scan many computers and communicate results to their colleagues. It is not a required change and UIT will continue to support the individual version that is currently in use. Manually
Manually running Identity Finder on workstations and laptops can be tedious. The new, centralized version enables administrators (Information Stewards or their delegates) to scan multiple computers automatically. The scan can run in the background with negligible performance impact on the user’s computer. This change will make Identity Finder a managed service rather than an individualized effort, reducing risk and making compliance easier and more cost effective.
The centralized console will not be able to view, edit, or delete sensitive data. Instead, the console will only show the location of the sensitive file on the end user's machine. The Information Stewards or their delegates must work with the individual end-users to clean up any files.
