• Support file metadata visualization and report for SharePoint and Google Drive files (such as Internal User, External User, Collaborator, and Share Link) for a unified file metadata structure.

Storages

The new Storages menu lists all storage locations you have configured in FortiData.

Incident Center

The new Incident Center menu replaces the Analytics > Scan Incidents tab in 7.6.1:

• The Incident Center > Issues tab lists scan-based incidents in an aggregated dynamic view (with a shorter list of events displayed).
• The Incident Center > Integration Events tab lists integration-based incidents, including scan incident for files uploaded by FortiClient.

Analytics

• The Summary tab has been renamed Visualization.
• The Files tab has been renamed Data.
• The Analytics > Scan Incidents tab has been integrated into the new Incident Center menu, with scan-based incidents now listed under Incident Center > Issues and integration-based incidents now listed under Incident Center > Integration Events.
• The new page Analytics > Identities tab lists the users and groups fetched from cloud storage systems.

Discovery

• Support for Google Drive—You can now select Google Drive as the storage type when configuring a scan.

• Predefined discovery policies—You can now select from or build your own policy from a list of predefined discovery policies without the need to create one from scratch.

• Support for applying file tags to remote cloud storage systems when labeling is enabled.

• Scanning all files (by selecting ANY) without the need to select specific file extensions when configuring a scan.

• Copying a policy without the need to start from scratch, which improves the policy creation efficiency. To do so, click the eclipsis in front of the policy name and select Derive/Copy Policy, depending on whether you are copying a built-in or custom policy. You will be then prompted to review the policy details, apply any changes, and save the new policy.

• A storage can be referenced by only one scan policy in 7.6.2.

• The Data Types and Data Labels menus have been consolidated into the new Content Insight menu with a new Data Fingerprinting sub-menu for IDM and EDM.

• New Data Classifiers tab which allows you to create or use predefined data classifiers based on mix of data identifiers.

Notifications

Use the new Notifications menu to configure email notifications, such as setting up SMTP servers and enabling email notification for data issues using built-in email templates.

Others

The data disk is encrypted using Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) in 7.6.2 for better security.

For systems upgraded from 7.6.0 or 7.6.1 to 7.6.2 to benefit from this feature, you must back up all configuration in the System > Backup & Restore > Backup section, manually enable disk encryption by running execute force-format-logdisk, and then restore the configuration in the System > Backup & Restore > Restore section.
