1. A method for real-time classification and verification of data, comprising:
in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor:
receiving, from a data source, incoming data;
reviewing the incoming data to identify a plurality of features of the incoming data, wherein the plurality of features of the incoming data provide an indication that the incoming data includes a type of sensitive information;
identifying a plurality of classification rules, wherein the plurality of classification rules classify the incoming data based on the plurality of features of the incoming data;
selecting a plurality of individual state machines, wherein each individual state machine of the plurality of individual state machines is selected based on an association with a corresponding one of the plurality of classification rules, and wherein each individual state machine of the plurality of individual state machines undergoes a state change when input data triggers the corresponding one of the plurality of classification rules associated with the individual state machine;
identifying a plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines from the plurality of individual state machines to review the incoming data, wherein an input data type of each of the individual state machines in the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines is associated with one of the plurality of features of the incoming data, and wherein the individual state machines in each of the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines are organized into a hierarchical tree structure based on the input data type of each of the individual state machines in each of the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines;
executing the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines; and
providing the incoming data as the input data to the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines, wherein:
the incoming data is provided to the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines in parallel;
the incoming data traverses the hierarchical tree structure of each of the plurality of hierarchies of individual state machines as the input data; and
at least one of the plurality of individual state machines undergoes the state change in response to the input data; and
executing an action in response to the state change, wherein the action comprises preventing the type of sensitive information from being written to a data store.
