Cloud Xray will store the client’s sensitive data on the Redis server, temporarily and encrypted at rest. This data will be held for scanning purposes when it’s triggered. Once the scanning is completed, the results will be shown on Cloudnosys dashboard, and the stored data will be removed completely.

To make sure that the application is functioning normally, following steps can be taken:
