| Customize the cadence of the data classification of on-premise file shares | Align your data classification frequency with your specific business requirements for on-premise file shares. You can now configure a custom cadence for scanning and classifying data. We added flexible cadence settings for all local file repositories.                                                                                          |
| Use Cloud Scan deployment for Azure storage blobs and database             | Streamline your security operations by using Azure Cloud Scan for your storage and database assets. You can now classify data in storage blobs and self-managed databases using this deployment mode, providing a more unified way to manage your cloud security. We expanded Azure Cloud Scan support to include these existing Azure integrations. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cloud-posture-management-rn/cortex-cloud-posture-management-release-information/features-introduced-in-2026-cloud/february-2026/feature-enhancements/data-security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
