In addition to reporting on security and metadata, on files located on Windows storage devices, File Reporter can now report on the content of the files themselves. Through file content scanning, organizations can identify files containing specified patterns such as U.S. Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, or other user-defined patterns. Furthermore, these organizations can define and apply classifications and categories to these identified files.
File content reports that identify files containing personal, confidential, or sensitive information can be imported into Micro Focus File Dynamics where the location of these files can be remediated.
A new AgentFS replaces the previous Windows Agent, now known as the legacy Agent for Windows. The latter is still available for serving as a Proxy Agent for OES storage devices. For file content scanning there is the new AgentFC.
This includes the ability for OES 2018 servers to host File Reporter Linux Agents, as well as for File Reporter 3.5 to perform file system scans on OES 2018 servers.
