What's this blog post about?

"Cloudflare has announced new features for its Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) services, part of the company's broader Cloudflare One suite. The enhancements aim to simplify security workflows and improve visibility across data environments, including file sharing and SaaS applications like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and GitHub. Among the new features are: - Enhanced detection capabilities for sensitive data types, such as financial information, personal identifiers, and source code. - Expanded predefined DLP profiles to cover more types of sensitive data. - Deepened detection through context analysis that reduces false positives by analyzing proximity keywords. - File type control, allowing scans to be limited to specific file types. - Improved logging details for higher fidelity insights into individual files and their payloads. - Integration with more SaaS applications, such as chat tools. - Convergence of CASB and DLP functionality for scanning sensitive data in SaaS apps like Google Workspace. Cloudflare also previewed some upcoming capabilities on the data protection suite roadmap, including: - Exact Data Matching with custom wordlists to improve search precision. - Predefined profiles to detect developer source code and protected health information (PHI). - Convergence of API-driven CASB & DLP for data-at-rest protections in Microsoft 365 and GitHub. - Introduction of a risk score based on user behavior and activities detected across Cloudflare One's services, allowing organizations to control access to sensitive data and applications based on changing risk factors."
