Rescan a Managed Cloud App

Learn how to rescan a cloud app on
Data Security
to update match results.
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 or exclude a cloud app from all scans.
  • You updated your internal domain list and you want
    Data Security
    to recalculate exposure for previously discovered assets.
  1. To rescan your app, go to
    Data Security
    Applications
    <Your Application>
    View Settings
    Actions
    Rescan
    .
    The
    Rescan
    option is available for the cloud app if the option is displayed, and rescans are limited to once every three days. A rescan timestamp indicates when you initiated it.
