SDS Enterprise 11.3 new features and enhancements

SDS Enterprise security policy

Automatic encryption and signing with Microsoft Purview

If your company uses the sensitivity label system offered by Microsoft Purview Information Protection, you can now declare these labels in the settings of the Mail feature of a security policy and associate them with an automatic agent action. When the user applies a label to a message, the agent checks that the label is present in the policy and triggers the corresponding security action: encrypt only the message, sign only the message, or a combination of both.

Shared protection rules management

In the settings of the Share feature of a security policy, you can now require or prohibit the creation of shared rules when a user creates an automatic folder protection rule directly from their workstation. By default, the user has the choice to share or not share a rule when creating it.

Automatic Windows encryption of temporary file decryption directory

In the File feature settings of a security policy, you can now enable automatic Windows encryption of the SDS Enterprise directory, called Decrypted, which allows .sdsx files to be temporarily stored when they are being modified by the user.

SDS Encryption Portal

The SDS Encryption Portal portal, which lets you read and protect confidential documents in a web browser, now offers the option of using your own PKI solution, by selecting the "External PKI" mode when creating your organization's tenant. In this way, you use the user encryption keys already in use within the organization. In this mode, user authentication to the portal works exclusively with the Microsoft Entra ID identity management solution.

This mode also enables SDS Encryption Portal interoperability with SDS Enterprise. Documents encrypted via the web portal, in .sdsx format, can now be decrypted via the SDS Enterprise agent and vice versa.

“External PKI” mode is currently available in the Beta version. Contact your Stormshield sales representative if you would like to implement this solution.
