External Release Notes: Secure & Govern v 27.4 (October 28, 2026)
New Features and Enhancements
Unusual Access Detection for Copy and Move Activity via Desktop App
Unusual Access can now detect abnormal copy and move activity. When a user copies or moves files between an Egnyte drive and a local, external, or network drive using the Desktop App on Windows, Egnyte compares that activity to the user's normal behavior. If the volume or pattern is unusual, Egnyte creates an Issue so admins can investigate possible data exfiltration or other risky file movement.
- This feature is available to customers on the Enterprise Lite, Enterprise, Elite, and Ultimate plans. Contact your Egnyte account manager or the Sales team for more information.
- This feature requires Desktop App Win v4.3.0+ and is available on Windows only.
Upload Date for Content Lifecycle Policies
Content Lifecycle Policies can now be triggered by upload date, alongside creation date, last access date, and metadata-based dates. When the upload date is selected, content lifecycle policies trigger based on when the file was uploaded into Egnyte.
