Summary

Appliance / Windows Version 19.9.36

Features

    • Support has been extended to MacOS and Linux platforms.

  • Access Control List Reporting

    • Administrators can configure combinations of security principles and access levels inside an object called Access Bundles.

    • These bundles provide the PK Protect Agent ACL information allowing you to search on files.

    • Findings are reported back as Data Security Intelligence events and can help identify where files are over exposed.
