Network Storage

DATA RECON can scan network storage media for sensitive data.

This would include being able to scan remote file servers, Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices, and Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices.

You can scan scan the following Network Storage types:

Windows Share
UNIX File Share
Remote Access via SSH

Scanning network storage devices transmits data to-and-from DATA RECON across the network, increasing your PCI footprint and network load.

To avoid increasing your PCI footprint and network slowdowns, run a Local Storage scan instead.

Manage remote file servers and devices to scan by selecting "Network Storage" tab in the "Add search locations" dialog box.

Windows Share

Add a Windows share by clicking on the + to expand the Windows Share option.

DATA RECON displays the Windows shares available on the network. You can also add a Windows share TARGET by typing the host name or IP address of a Windows share server in the "Add share name" field.

You will be prompted for access credentials if the selected Windows share requires it.

Add access credentials in "Add server name" under Windows share in the Network Storage tab.

You can also scan a specific share on a Windows share server by typing the share name in the "Add share name" field.

Add share name to scan specific share on Windows share server in the Network Storage tab.

UNIX File Share

Add a UNIX file share as a TARGET by typing the host name or IP address of the UNIX file share (NFS).

Remote Access via SSH

DATA RECON will allow you to scan TARGETS via SSH.

To scan a TARGET via SSH, enter the host name or IP address of the TARGET server, and enter your credentials when prompted. The TARGET must have an SSH server running.

Manage remote Targets to scan via SSH from the "Network Storage" tab in "Add search locations" dialog box.
