Prescriptive paths

You can use Protect to secure the data in the assets of the packaged asset types, such as Business Process, Data Category, and Data Set, in addition to the assets of any new or modified asset types.

The assets that you use to create data protection standards and data access rules are related to the physical data layer, such as tables and columns, through a set of relations and intermediate assets. Protect uses these relationships and intermediate assets to search the knowledge graph to find the physical data layer assets that it needs to protect. The traversal of the knowledge graph follows a set of prescriptive paths. Each asset type has a set of prescriptive paths for traversing to the Column asset, as depicted in the following sections.

Note Depending on your permission, you can customize the prescriptive paths. For more information, go to Customization of prescriptive paths.
