Scan Encrypted Fields for Sensitive Data in Data Detect

Now, you can broaden your data privacy reach by scanning encrypted text-based fields. Data Detect supports scanning for Text, Long Text Area, Rich Text Area, Text Area fields, and text (encrypted) with Field Level Encryption or Classic Encryption. Scanning encrypted fields does take longer. If you include encrypted fields in your scan, your total scan time can increase by approximately one and a half times.
