Exact Data Match [EDM]

« Back to Glossary Index

EDM is a critical component of data loss prevention. It refers to the ability to ‘fingerprint’ sensitive information from a structured data source, such as a database, so you can identify it and stop it from being shared or transferred inappropriately. EDM identifies and correlates multiple tokens that contribute to a particular record-for example, name, birthdate, Social Security number-to identify ownership of that data for set policy for it.
