System and method for data mining and security policy management
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- filtering information contained in a plurality of tags stored in a database, the filtering based on one or more specified elements of a tag, wherein the information relates to objects discovered through a capture system, and wherein each object is associated with one of the tags, wherein each of the one or more specified elements includes one of a communication parameter, a content type, a concept, a word, and a signature;
generating an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) element to represent the filtered information;
receiving as input one or more parameters based, at least in part, on the OLAP element, wherein each of the one or more parameters includes one of a communication parameter, a content type, a concept, a word, and a signature; and
generating a rule from the one or more parameters, wherein the rule includes an action to be performed on one or more objects identified by the one or more parameters, the one or more objects sought to be propagated through e-mail in a network environment.

Abstract
A method is provided in one example and includes generating a query for a database for information stored in the database. The information relates to data discovered through a capture system. The method further includes generating an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) element to represent information received from the query. A rule based on the OLAP element is generated and the rule affects data management for one or more documents that satisfy the rule. In more specific embodiments, the method further includes generating a capture rule that defines items the capture system should capture. The method also includes generating a discovery rule that defines objects the capture system should register. In still other embodiments, the method includes developing a policy based on the rule, where the policy identifies how one or more documents are permitted to traverse a network.

9. An apparatus, comprising:
a capture system that includes a processor and the memory, the apparatus being configured to; filter information contained in a plurality of tags stored in a database, the filtering based on one or more specified elements of a tag, wherein the information relates to objects discovered through a capture system, and wherein each object is associated with one of the tags, wherein each of the one or more specified elements includes one of a communication parameter, a content type, a concept, a word, and a signature, generate an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) element to represent the filtered information, and receive one or more parameters based, at least in part, on the OLAP element, wherein each of the one or more parameters includes one of a communication parameter, a content type, a concept, a word, and a signature, wherein a rule is generated from the one or more parameters, and wherein the rule includes an action to be performed on one or more objects identified by the one or more parameters, the one or more objects sought to be propagated through e-mail in a network environment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. Logic encoded in non-transitory media for execution and when executed by a processor operable to:
-
filter information contained in a plurality of tags stored in a database, the filtering based on one or more specified elements of a tag, wherein the information relates to objects discovered through a capture system, and wherein each object is associated with one of the tags, wherein each of the one or more specified elements includes one of a communication parameter, a content type, a concept, a word, and a signature; generate an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) element to represent the filtered information; receiving as input one or more parameters based, at least in part, on the OLAP element, wherein each of the one or more parameters includes one of a communication parameter, a content type, a concept, a word, and a signature; and generate a rule from the one or more parameters, wherein the rule includes an action to be performed on one or more objects identified by the one or more parameters, the one or more objects that satisfy the rule. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
