-Version 1808 of the Enterprise File Fabric introduced [[contentdiscovery]], which supersedes this PII Scanning and Detection feature. Content Discovery incorporates all of the PII feature’s functionality and is upwardly compatible with version 1803’s PII detection rules. Content Discovery organises sets of content detectors into one or more Content Detection Categories, each of which contains a set of content detectors. PII is (or can be) one such Content Detection Category.+A forthcoming version of Nasuni Access Anywhere will introduce the ability to add-on [[contentdiscovery]], which supersedes the original Access Anywhere PII Scanning and Detection feature.
