What's New?

Extended Support for Bulk Assets Purge

With this release, you can purge assets in bulk. Earlier, it was possible to purge a single asset selected from the listing, reported by PS and CAPS from CSAM UI. 

Navigate to the CSAM application > Inventory > Assets tab, filter your assets based on the NPS and  CAPS, and choose the assets you want to purge.

From the Actions menu, click Purge Assets.

For details on how to purge assets, refer to CSAM Online Help.

Extended Support for Asset Purge Rule: NPS and CAPS Assets

With this release, you can now create an Asset Purge Rule to purge assets detected by NPS and CAPS  from CSAM application. Once the asset purge rule is created, the rule runs, and the assets that meet the purge rule criteria are deleted and not shown in the CSAM inventory.

Navigate to CSAM application > Rules > Asset Purge Rule > Create Rule.

Select Add Other Sources from the Asset Scope page and apply criteria for purging based on Passive Sensor or Cloud Agent as Passive Sensor.

The following image shows the asset purge rule, which specifies that purging will occur when the asset matches the given passive sensor ID.
