When you
Configure Data Patterns,
Data Security scans all connected cloud apps automatically to detect
sensitive content that match on these patterns. This is the
discovery process. Unlike a
forward scan, a rescan does not
request assets from the cloud; rather, a rescan downloads previously discovered
assets from the cloud app.
Rescan is a resource‑intensive and time‑consuming operation. Depending on the
volume of assets in your cloud app, the rescan might take a long time to complete.
Consider
a rescan if:
- You added or modified a data pattern. Data Security matches content from that time
onwards, but does not automatically look for matches on previous scan results.
To find matches for content that Data Security already scanned, you can
Rescan a specific cloud app.
- You updated your internal domains list and you want Data Security to recalculate
exposure for previously discovered assets.
