Notification: Console upgrade

Updated at:

As of July 29, 2022, the Alibaba Cloud Data Security Center console has been upgraded to improve your experience. The upgrade is based on a workflow of detection, administration, and protection that helps you establish standard data security management processes and improve administration efficiency. This topic describes the main feature changes and explains how to use the new console.

Feature changes

Important This console upgrade does not modify your existing configurations or data.
Feature moduleChange description
WorkbenchA new Workbench provides end-to-end configuration guidance for Data Security Center. This includes asset synchronization, asset authorization management, data detection, and security audit configuration. The Workbench streamlines the product configuration flow and improves asset configuration efficiency. It also provides a global view of sensitive data threats and offers insights into sensitive data distribution and behavioral risks.
Data domainThe new data domain feature lets enterprise administrators classify data assets based on dimensions such as business properties, organizational structures, and data features. This allows for efficient management of assets and the sensitive data they contain.
Security audit
  • Raw Logs, session information, and audit alerts are embedded in different tabs on the same page. This makes viewing audit data more convenient.
  • Audit configuration is now separate from asset authorization and is part of the security audit module. A more cost-effective agent-based collection method is supported to help you configure audits efficiently.
Feature entry pointsThe entry points for all features in the navigation pane on the left are adjusted. For features other than data domain and security audit, only their entry points in the navigation pane have changed. The supported features and how to use them remain the same.
