Major New Features

New Information Architecture

• We have re-organized our navigation into 3 groups:  Reporting, Management and Platform.
  • Reporting includes Dashboard, Alerts and Reports.
  • Management includes Data Stores, Classification, Policies, Users Identity and Administration.
  • Platform includes Dasera-related operations like Platform Users, Licensing and Support.
• The top panel contains Platform User Profile and System Notifications.

Alert by Policy Improvements

• We have added a unique Alert Identifier for each Alert.
• We have added which Sensitive Fields were associated with the triggering of an alert.
• Alerts for Field Classified and Data Modified were added.

Alerts by User Enhancements

• We can now assign a User Risk Rating for those users that are generating Alerts due to risky query interactions with sensitive data. This helps determine your top Risky Users and Departments.

Data Store Auto-Discovery

• Dasera can now Auto-Discover Data Stores in the AWS and GCP Environments to monitor Data Store Sprawl. Dasera needs additional IAM permissions to auto-discover data stores.

Data Store Connectivity

• We have added a capability to provide a TIME for Once Daily Scan frequency for each data store and to turn on/off Classification or Data-in-Use monitoring for each data store.
• Dasera  can ingest Custom Query Logs from S3 bucket in CSV/JSON format for each data store to do Data-In-Use Monitoring and Data Misuse Detection. Dasera still needs to connect to the Data Store to discover the Schema changes to get full benefit of this feature.
• We have expanded our Connector Support for AWS RDS (Oracle & MariaDB) and Heroku-Postgres Data Store Service types.

Configuration Discovery and Misconfiguration Detection

• We provide visibility into data store configurations for Encryption, Backup and Public Accessibility and determine Misconfiguration Risks

Classification Improvements

• We have reorganized the Classification table and we now show additional metadata (data type) in the expansion for each field.
• We can also get samples for a field to help with Classification.
• Sensitivity Level (Low, Medium, High) have been separated from Tags and is now a system-defined field. You can still change the sensitivity level of each sensitive data type but you cannot define additional levels.
• We have a new Filter and Bulk Edit workflow to tune Classification.

Policy Enhancements

• We have added 2 new policy types:
  • Field Classified: Generates an alert when a field is classified for the first time or reclassified.
  • Data Modified: Generates an alert when an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE operation was performed on a sensitive field(s).
