Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention v2 API enum Likelihood.
Coarse-grained confidence level of how well a particular finding
satisfies the criteria to match a particular infoType.
Likelihood is calculated based on the number of signals a
finding has that implies that the finding matches the infoType. For
example, a string that has an '@' and a '.com' is more likely to be a
match for an email address than a string that only has an '@'.
In general, the highest likelihood level has the strongest signals that
indicate a match. That is, a finding with a high likelihood has a low chance
of being a false positive.
For more information about each likelihood level
and how likelihood works, see Match
likelihood.
