New and Improved Features

Quickly Search and Select Targets and/or Target Groups as Scan Locations

To improve the scan location selection process when starting a new or modifying a scheduled scan in the Select Locations page, Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0 introduces the following functionalities:

  • the search filter criteria dropdown (used in conjunction with the name/keyword search bar) to specify whether to search for Targets, Target Groups, or both,
  • the name/keyword search bar and search button to enter keyword(s) and get partial and full matches of that keyword according to your search filter criteria, and
  • the Filter Target Type dropdown to select the specific Target type(s) to include in the search results.

To use these functionalities, refer to the Start a Scan section.

New and Improved Data Types

NEW Blood type data, just like any other health data managed through digital systems, can be misused and exploited when left unsecured. The new Blood Type data type in Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0 enables organizations that deal with or handle medical-related personal data to detect the eight supported main blood types, and remediate these vulnerabilities within their organization's digital systems.

Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0 also brings expanded coverage to Turkey-based national ID data types. The new Turkish Tax Identification Number data type can detect the 10-digit Turkish Tax Identification Number (TIN), and the updated Turkish Identification Number can now detect Turkish identification numbers that begin with "8".

Early Access

The Early Access stage allows Ground Labs to collect a round of usability and performance feedback before a feature is made generally available.

If you would like to request access to any of the Early Access features, please get in touch with the Ground Labs Support Team for assistance.

Early Access Features

  • Apache Hive - Enables sensitive data discovery on Apache Hive (and Cloudera Hive) database Targets.

Important Notes

CRITICAL: One Way Upgrade to Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0

Certain data sets, storage formats and components for the Master Server have been updated in Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0. Therefore once the Master Server is updated from Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.11.1 to ER Cloud 2.12.0, the datastore is not backward compatible and downgrading ER Cloud 2.12.0 to an earlier version is not supported.
Please contact the Ground Labs Support Team for assistance with upgrading the Master Server.

Upcoming End-of-Support Platforms and Features

The following platforms and/or features will reach end of support and be removed in the upcoming Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.13.0 release:

Changelog

The Changelog is a complete list of all the changes in Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0.

What’s New?

  • New Data Types
    • NEW Blood Type
    • NEW Turkish Tax Identification Number

Enhancements

  • Improved Features:
    • Updated data compression and image processing libraries for increased application security.
    • Minor UI enhancements.

Bug Fixes

  • The "Reason" column in Match reports exported from the Investigate page displayed an empty description for the remediated match locations. The issue would occur if the Match Report for the impacted match location(s) was downloaded after scanning another location(s) in the same Target.

  • Scans for Google Workspace (Google Drive) Targets included folders that were neither selected from the probing Target workflow nor entered in the "Path" field as scan locations. This issue would only occur if a selected folder's label (e.g. "my-folder") is a prefix of another folder (e.g. "my-folder-2024") that was not selected for scanning, resulting in both folders being scanned.

  • A non-existing file or folder location path in SharePoint Online, SharePoint Server, Google Mail, and Amazon S3 Targets could be probed via the Enterprise Recon Web UI and API and scanned successfully.

  • The "Test" button did not change to a "Commit" or "+ Add Customised" button when attempting to add a valid SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server list as a Target location.
  • Using an invalid username or password when adding Google Workspace Targets would return a generic "Too many redirections" error. This fix improves error messaging for incorrect Google Workspace Target credentials.

Features That Require Agent Upgrades

Agents do not need to be upgraded along with the Master Server, unless you require the following features in Enterprise Recon Cloud 2.12.0:

  • A non-existing file or folder location path in SharePoint Online, SharePoint Server, Google Mail, and Amazon S3 Targets could be probed via the Enterprise Recon Web UI and API and scanned successfully.
  • Updated data compression libraries for increased application security.
  • The "Test" button did not change to a "Commit" or "+ Add Customised" button when attempting to add a valid SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server list as a Target location.
