Watchtower Destination


Watchtower(link takes you to an external page) is a platform to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data, like customer personally identifiable information (PII), across cloud services & data infrastructure. This enables you to identify sensitive data that you're ingesting and sending to various business-critical systems — so you can manage the customer data you're disseminating across services.

This destination is maintained by Watchtower. For any issues with the destination, contact the Watchtower Support team(link takes you to an external page).
