Data Discovery: Uncovering potential security risks and vulnerabilities 

The Vancouver Release introduces a powerful Data Discovery capability that allows organizations to identify and analyze potential security risks and vulnerabilities within their ServiceNow environment.

This feature scans the platform for sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or intellectual property, and provides organizations with insights into potential risks. Armed with this information, organizations can take proactive measures to address vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture.

Zero Trust access: Strengthening access controls and minimizing security threats

Zero Trust access is a security model that requires strict identity verification and access controls for all users and devices, regardless of their location or network. The Vancouver Release embraces this model by introducing advanced access controls that minimize security threats. This capability ensures that only authorized users and devices can access the ServiceNow platform, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

Access Analyzer: Scrutinize resource access and ensure critical security hygiene

Access Analyzer is a new application that was introduced to promote the implementation of strict access controls based on the principle of least privilege. This versatile tool allows users to fine-tune access to specific data, encompassing applications, tables, rows, columns, and various other resources. Moreover, it enhances transparency through robust reporting capabilities, offering valuable insights derived from the Analyzer results.Thinking of leveraging the Advanced Now Platform Security Features?
