### Training Overview

GuardWare DISCOVER enables organisations to locate, classify, investigate, and remediate sensitive information across on-premises and cloud environments.

DISCOVER forms the first stage of GuardWare's data-centric security platform by identifying where sensitive information resides before monitoring its movement with INSIGHT or protecting it with PROTECT.

### Learning outcomes

After completing this training, participants can:

* Identify sensitive information using Data Types.
* Configure discovery targets across on-premises and cloud environments.
* Run data discovery scans and review their results.
* Investigate sensitive findings and apply remediation actions.
* Monitor discovery activity through reports and dashboards.

This session covers discovering data sources and scanning them for sensitive information. Participants will learn how to configure discovery targets, run and monitor scans, and review scan progress to ensure successful identification of sensitive data.

**Topics covered:**

* Configuring discovery targets
* Running and monitoring scans
* Reviewing scan outputs

### Session 4: Results, Dashboard, Investigation and Remediation

**Duration: 1 Hour**

This session demonstrates how to analyse scan results and take action to reduce data risk. Participants will learn how to review dashboards, investigate sensitive findings, apply remediation actions, and track remediation progress to strengthen their organisation's data security posture.

**Topics covered:**

* Reviewing results and dashboards
* Investigating sensitive findings
* Applying and tracking remediation actions

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guardware.com/training-centre/instructor-led-training/guardware-discover-training.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
