Defender for Cloud's Security Posture Management (CSPM) sensitivity scanning capabilities now include Azure file shares (in preview) in addition to blob containers.

Before this update, enabling the Defender CSPM plan on a subscription would automatically scan blob containers within storage accounts for sensitive data. With this update, Defender for CSPM's sensitivity scanning feature now includes file shares within those storage accounts. This enhancement improves the risk assessment and protection of sensitive storage accounts, providing a more comprehensive analysis of potential risks.
