New Features
Section titled “New Features”Database Activity Monitoring
Section titled “Database Activity Monitoring”- Security Intelligence Scout — a new self-serve way to monitor database activity for Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL databases. Security Intelligence Scout reads your database’s native audit trail on a schedule, so there’s no need to route traffic through a proxy. Activity it captures is available alongside your existing database activity monitoring — in Query Audit Logs, the Activity Dashboard, DAM Alerting, and Audit Reports. Set it up entirely from the Agents page — register an agent, configure your database’s audit settings, and define scan tasks.
Classification
Section titled “Classification”- Amazon Comprehend condition — compound-ruleset classifiers can now match on AWS Comprehend’s PII entity detection, joining Google DLP and Snowflake Native as external classification signals.
- Data Length and Column Size conditions — two new ways to match columns in compound rulesets: by the byte length of sampled values, or by a column’s declared schema size.
Important Notices
Section titled “Important Notices”Snowflake Native classification retired as a standalone method
Section titled “Snowflake Native classification retired as a standalone method”Snowflake Native is no longer available as a standalone classification method for new classification jobs — new jobs on Snowflake now choose between ALTR Native and Google DLP. The same detection is still available: add a Snowflake Native condition within an ALTR Native classifier.
