You can now view if an assigned user policy has been applied to that user and their devices by selecting the user in the

Cylance Endpoint Security

console. For more information, see View CylanceAVERT user details in the Administration guide.

Non-ASCII filenames are now valid in evidence upload headers.

You can now select the

CylanceAVERT

custom dashboard when you are adding a new dashboard. The

CylanceAVERT

custom dashboard includes all of the supported

CylanceAVERT

widgets.

This release adds the "Evidence Locker files by date added" dashboard widget.

This release adds the following support for partially analyzed files:

You can use the Partially Analyzed Files view to view a list of files that have been partially analyzed and no sensitive information was detected. The file will display in this view with an alert stating that the file was only partially analyzed.
If a file is partially analyzed and sensitive information is detected, it will be treated the same as a fully analyzed file and will display in the File Inventory, Events view, and Evidence Locker. However, an icon displays beside the file in the tables and detailed views with an alert stating that the file was only partially analyzed.

You can now group files in the file inventory based on the following parameters:

Group by users
Group by devices
Group by data types

Using these group parameters will display the users, devices, or data types name as well as the number of sensitive files associated with that group in the file inventory. This list is sorted by the number of sensitive files in descending order. You can click on the users, devices, or data types name to view detailed information about the sensitive files.

CylanceAVERT

can scan files uploaded to USB drives, internet browsers, and email attachments, as well as scan the body content of an email message for company data that the administrator defined as sensitive in the information protection policies. An email notification will be sent for data exfiltration events.

Administrators can specify the conditions that must be met to trigger the policy violation, the allowed domains for the policy, and the actions to take when a policy has been violated. See Information Protection in the BlackBerry Avert Administration and Overview Guide for more information.

When the conditions are met to trigger a policy violation, information about that data exfiltration event display in the

CylanceAVERT

events view. The events view shows detailed information about the event including the data and time of the event, the location that the file was exfiltrated to, the number of policies that were violated, and the user of the device where the event occurred. See BlackBerry Avert Events in the BlackBerry Avert Administration and Overview guide for more information.

Administrators can use the information protection settings to configure the sensitive data that they want to monitor for by adding templates and data types to use in an information protection policy. Administrators can also define the browser and email domains that will be allowed and trusted, manage the evidence that they want to collect for data exfiltration events, and specify how long the evidence should be available. Specified email addresses can also be sent notifications of data exfiltration events. See Information protection settings in the BlackBerry Avert Administration and Overview guide for more information.

The

CylanceAVERT

file inventory creates a record of all the sensitive files in an organization through a file trawling process. See File Inventory in the BlackBerry Avert Administration and Overview Guide for more information.

Administrators can use the evidence locker to view details of the files that have been involved in exfiltration events and download the files to their local storage for auditing purposes. See Evidence locker in the BlackBerry Avert Administration and Overview guide for more information.
