Automatically classifying an input from field with respect to sensitivity of information it is designed to hold

1. A computerized method for automatically classifying an analyzed input form field of an analyzed form with respect to sensitivity of information the analyzed input form field is designed to hold, the method comprising:

collecting, from a network, classifying information comprising a plurality of input characteristics of a plurality of input form fields of at least one web form, wherein the collecting of the classifying information includes performing crawling in the network;

providing the analyzed form; and

for the analyzed input form field, using a hardware processor to:

select, as a selected input characteristic, a certain input characteristic associated with the analyzed input form field, wherein:

the selected input characteristic is similar to a plurality of similar input form fields from the plurality of input form fields of the at least one web form in the classifying information; and

the selected input characteristic comprises one or more input characteristics selected from a group of input characteristics consisting of:

field label, field format, classification of a form in which at least one of the plurality of similar input form fields exists, and security level of the form in which said at least one of the plurality of similar input form fields exist;

when each one of the plurality of similar input form fields do not have the certain input characteristic, select a different input characteristic associated with the analyzed input form field, as the selected input characteristic, wherein the different input characteristic is different from the certain input characteristic; and

when each one of the plurality of similar input form fields have the selected input characteristic, statistically determine whether the analyzed input form field is designed to hold sensitive information by considering the plurality of similar input form fields.

2. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the network is the internet; wherein said collecting further comprises collecting the classifying information from the internet.

3. The computerized method of claim 2 , wherein the classifying information is maintained in a database.

5. The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising allowing a user to manually change the classification of the analyzed input form field.

6. A computer program product for automatically classifying an analyzed input form field of an analyzed form with respect to sensitivity of information the analyzed input form field is designed to hold, wherein the computer program product is stored on a non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium, the computer program including code for:

collecting, from a network, classifying information comprising a plurality of input characteristics of a plurality of input form fields of at least one web form, wherein the collecting of the classifying information includes performing crawling in the network;

providing the analyzed form;

for the analyzed input form field, using a computerized processor to:

select, as a selected input characteristic, a certain input characteristic associated with the analyzed input form field, wherein:

the selected input characteristic is similar to a plurality of similar input form fields from the plurality of input form fields of the at least one web form in the classifying information; and

the selected input characteristic comprises one or more input characteristics selected from a group of input characteristics consisting of:

field label, field format, classification of a form in which at least one of the plurality of similar input form fields exists, and security level of the form in which said at least one of the plurality of similar input form fields exist;

when each one of the plurality of similar input form fields do not have the certain input characteristic, select a different input a different input characteristic associated with the analyzed input form field, as the selected input characteristic, wherein the different input characteristic is different from the certain input characteristic; and

when each one of the plurality of similar input form fields have the selected input characteristic, statistically determine whether the analyzed input form field is designed to hold sensitive information by considering the plurality of similar input form fields.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the network is the internet; wherein said collecting further comprises collecting the classifying information from the internet.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the classifying information is maintained in a database.
