Product Updates
A change log of updates to Nightfall.
File Fingerprint - File fingerprint detection creates a unique hash of the sensitive files that allows you to receive alerts and discover where they are located or shared.
File Type - Receive alerts when certain file types (such as audio or video) are discovered so you can adhere to compliance policies that prohibit certain file types from being shared on particular applications or storage locations. These file types will be detected regardless of file extension.
File Name - You can now scan for sensitive data in file names as well as file content for sensitive data by setting the “scope” of detection on your Detectors. Use regular expressions to match either file extensions or the file name.
A new remediation option is available for violations detected in Google Drive. Administrators may choose to disable download of the offending file through the violations console. Click on the “More Options” ellipsis (...) button next to a violation to access this option.
You can now provide custom HTTP headers to alerts sent to webhooks. These headers may be used to support systems collecting SIEM data that do not allow for query string authentication as well as other purposes such as routing.
These headers may be set at the same location as you define your webhook URL. Click the "+ Webhook" button when defining a policy.
Salesforce data security and compliance is now generally available to all customers. Scan objects and fields in real-time and take remediation actions from Slack, email alerts or the Nightfall console to eliminate data exposure risks.
Customers can now navigate directly to the Dashboard → Generate Reports to get access to four independent reports:
- 1.Policy violations report - Aggregation of violations along with distribution by confidence thresholds and status by the policy.
- 2.Highest risk users report - Aggregation of violations along with distribution by confidence thresholds and status by each user.
- 3.Total data scanned report - Summary of total data and items scanned per integration.
- 4.Sensitive data exposure report - Summary of policy violations with location (Slack channel, Shared drive etc) and sub-location (channel type etc) information.
