Veritas Data Insight Release Notes

Last Published: 2023-09-04

Product(s): Data Insight (6.6)

Platform: Windows

In 6.5

The following features, enhancements, or changes are now available in Data Insight 6.5

Classification

Users will now be able to classify encrypted files by enabling the MIP Decryption Setting in Data Insight.
Disk Utilization by classification content will be visible to the users, under Server > Statistic page. This will help the users in managing their systems and data.
Minor operational improvements.
Data Insight will be able to distinguish between Sensitive/ Non-sensitive Veritas Information Classifier (VIC) tags.

Indexing

Data Insight is now enhanced to provide a better indexing mechanism by supporting index databases in SQLite WAL (Write-Ahead-Logging) mode. Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) mode is an inversion to default rollback journal mode. This mode writes changes to the WAL file and later moves them to the main database file. In this approach, anyone can read from the main database file while someone else is writing to the Write-Ahead log. WAL can be faster because it reverses the behavior described for the rollback journal. This enhancement will help in
- 50% reduction in disk space.
- Faster ingestion (without copy) of scan and audit files.
- Improved performance of indexing process.

Actionability

Scalable Action framework will support for actionability also via Collectors. Till now, Management Server was responsible for invoking actions like integrating with other systems or any custom actions. With 6.5, that behavior has been enhanced. Now on, Collectors take the charge when it comes to invoking these actions. As soon as Management server gets instruction to take action, the collectors communicate with the data sources to execute the action. The action can be invoked in parallel across collectors which may be even geographically distributed. It will expedite the actionability process. It also helps in optimizing network requirements as users don't need to open up direct access of data sources to Management Server which may even be located far from workloads. Also, there is also a recommended option to leverage scan credentials for actions to manage service credentials in a better way, enhancing overall operational management for Data Insight

Security

All data downloaded for classification will be encrypted. This will add another layer of data security.

Veritas Information Classifier (VIC)

In this release (4.2.0), a new condition parameter keyword based exclusions has been introduced. This will allow conditions to include specific words or phrases that can be excluded from the matching criteria for a keyword policy condition. This feature provides a simpler, more computationally efficient alternative to using regular expression conditions to deal with keyword based exclusions.
