Release Highlights

The U.S. Social Security Number classifier that is used in multiple policies was updated to reflect the new procedure for assigning new Social Security Numbers by the U.S. Social Security Administration (the "SSN randomization" procedure).

A PCI Audit Policy: A permissive policy for detecting potential credit card numbers. The policy contains several rules to address corner cases, such as numbers that appear as part of a long sequence, with user-defined delimiters. Most of the rules in the policy may cause a high rate of false positives and are not recommended for usage in production mode.

Sweden PHI and Swedish Patient Data Act: Policies for detection of protected health information (PHI) of Swedish citizens and residents. The policies comprise rules for detection of health information and medical conditions (in Swedish or English), in proximity to personally identifiable information such as personal number (personnummer) or Swedish name.

Time of day classifiers - New classifiers were added to allow you to create rules that will be operative during specified hours (e.g., outside working hours).

Improved stateful classifiers for detection of suspicious user's behavior. The classifiers work by tracking the accumulated number of transactions that contain the same type of information and that were sent by the same user.

A discovery policy for detecting indecent imagess using image analysis.
