Product Update - July 3rd, 2023

New Features & Enhancements

• New X1600 Socket Model for Mid-Size Sites: The X1600 Socket bridges the gap between the X1700 and X1500 Sockets, with the following details:

  • 1 Gbps max tunnel throughput

  • 8 ports (in total)

  • Fiber ports

• Immediately Validate DLP Content Scans: For each DLP Data Type, you can verify that the DLP engine recognizes and matches the sensitive data. For example, when you define a Keyword data type, you can upload and scan a test file to validate that the DLP engine detects the keywords. This helps you make sure that different Data Types correctly match content and prevent users from leaking sensitive data.

  • All DLP data types can be validated using test files, including: predefined types in the Data Types Catalog, user defined data types, and sensitivity labels

  • For better troubleshooting and enhanced supportability for cases where the file doesn’t match the data type, you can download a text file of the content extracted by the DLP engine

• DLP Engine Now Detects Encrypted Files: We enhanced the DLP engine with the ability to identify and block encrypted files to let you prevent users from uploading or downloading sensitive information hidden in password-protected files.

• Change to Preferred PoP Settings: You are no longer able to manually define the following China PoP locations for the site’s Preferred PoP location settings:
  Beijing_DC3, Beijing_DC4, Shanghai_DC3, Shanghai_DC4, Shenzhen_DC4
  Existing sites configured with these China PoP locations will continue to get service from these PoPs.

  • No configuration changes are required

  • Existing sites will not be impacted by the change

  • The PoPs mentioned above will keep providing services
