When you add a guarded information item, text that you
type in the Description field is displayed next to the
guarded information item to remind you what the item is.
A category name that you type or select in the Category
field is used to identify the guarded information item in
any alerts.
You can increase the accuracy of Norton Confidential
detection by using the following guidelines for entering
information into Information Guard:
Enter a minimum of four characters to protect.
1
Enter a maximum of 30 characters to protect.
1
Add numeric information to Information Guard as an
1
uninterrupted sequence of numbers, without dashes
or other characters. For example, the phone number
888-555-1234 should be entered into Information
Guard without dashes as follows: 8885551234. Norton
Confidential detects the guarded number regardless
of how you enter it in the Web site.
Enter the entire sequence of numbers or text that you
1
want to guard. Or enter as much of the sequence as
you are comfortable entering. Partial, common or short
sequences of numbers and text have a greater chance
of being detected in normal network traffic and can
result in false detection alerts. For example, if you have
guarded the last four digits of your credit card number
as "0000," you may want to enter a more unique or
longer sequence of your credit card number.
Don't enter your email address as a guarded
1
information item. You email address is often sent and
received in normal email correspondence. Guarding
your email address using Information Guard may
trigger an excessive number of alerts.
Create separate guarded information items for those
1
items that require DBCS (double-byte character sets)
