Remote Crawler Management Parent topic

Use the Crawler Management screen to manage or deploy the Remote Crawler agent. The Remote Crawler agent performs the following functions:
  • Scans for confidential data stored on desktops and laptops not connected to the company network
  • Acquires fingerprints on systems other than the DLP server.
The Remote Crawler forwards generated fingerprints to the DLP server where they are merged with fingerprints already stored on the server.
The Remote Crawler can protect:
  • Files stored locally (on computers where the Remote Crawler is installed). For locally stored files, the Remote Crawler computer does not require a shared folder that the DLP server can access.
  • Files in a SharePoint server environment that the DLP server may or may not have access to.
  • Files in a Windows Share environment.
