  1. Export Control (ITAR/EAR) support by Box Shield (Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications & Applying a classification label to

    In the case of having global offices/teams, contents related to Export control are dispersed globally. However, the contents need to be in compliance for Export control.
    The following two enhancements work well for supporting ITAR/EAR with dispersed contents in one Box entity:
    1. Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications - There is a limitation Classification (it's 25) now. To create combination label via country-base for ITAR/EAR, it requires a larger number of classifications.
    2. Applying a classification label to a specific group - this ability is required to support large number of Classification (above enhancement).

  2. Secure admin only download of 'malicious' files for analysis

    Admins should be able to download Box Shield tagged malware without marking the file safe for everyone. That way a security admin could download the file and scan it with their own security tools. That’s the only real way to diagnose if a file is malicious or just a false positive.

    Asking us to mark it safe by chatting with the user is far from best practice

  3. Additional Information BoxShield Anomalous Download Alerts

    Include further information within the anomalous download alert to show which application\service was used. Currently, this is only available from the user activity report, which takes a while to generate.

    If the hostname and device type could be included, this would help decipher if anomalous downloads have taken place acorss multipe devices.

  4. Shield Dashboard to search files

    I would like to have a feature in Shield Dashboard to search files to malware deep scan result. This is because the admin receive feedback about a specific file from end users and so the admin would like to check that file easily from the dashboard.

  5. Allow bulk action on Shield malicious content alerts

    Allow bulk action on BoxShield malicious content alerts. We have seen an extremely high rate of positives. Individually marking files as safe is not scalable, and need to be able to do bulk updates.

  6. internal collaboration

    Add a "Internal Collaboration Restriction" option for Box shield access policy. My company uses file classifications that are intended to inform users so that they know to restrict sharing of files to only those who need to know. It would be great to use the justification feature that already exists in the External collaboration restriction but within our domain.

  7. Ability to configure Box shield alerts

    Be able to set Shield alert priority based on the severity (quantity, amount, % change) of the Box Shield anomalous behavior. Today the Shield alerts are static and apply to the category as whole and not related to a quantifiable measure of risk. a 100% increase is treated the same as a 10,000% increase.

  8. Block file request via classification / access policy

    Currently there is no security control for access policies that allows to block file requests.
    We created a classification "external" with the security control "External Collaboration Restriction". However it is still possible that externals upload files to these folders. To us this is also a way of external collaboration. And this also creates the risk of mixing internal and external files in folders that are classified as internal.

  9. Box Shield Delete Restriction Security Control

    Adding an additional Shield security control to restrict the ability of Editors to send content to Trash would be a great way to fill the gap between Viewer Uploader and Editor permissions. One of the primary use cases for Viewer Uploader is the ability to collaborate on content without being able to delete that content but in its current state, Viewer Uploaders are also restricted from other important collaborative features like inviting collaborators.

  10. Wish to improve the custom terms in the classification settings to include the string custom term + string in the search.

    The following rules apply to custom terms in the classification settings:

    [Reference]
    Also, the characters surrounding any match must be of a different type (letters or digits) from the adjacent characters within the word. For example:

    if the policy looks for "Acme-Internal", the scan will match on "Acme Internal", "acme-internal", "Acme - Internal", "Acme (INTERNAL)", "Acme: Internal", "728Acme-Internal", "Acme - Internal728", "Acme-Internal-728", and so on, but not "Acme-Internalization", or "Acem-Internal".
    if the policy looks for "AcmeInternal", the scan will match on "acmeinternal", "AcmeINTERNAL", "AcmeInternal4u", and so on, but not "Acme Internal", "Acme_Internal", "AcmenInternalization", "Acme"

  11. Create an audit only mode for classification policies

    Auto-classification policies can receive an audit only mode similar to Shield Access Policies. Essentially an auto-classification policy in audit only mode will return a list of files that would have triggered an auto-classification upon upload or interaction. Shield administrators can then review the list of files that would have been classified and review for accuracy.

    Decreases risk of misclassifying content due to policy misconfigurations.

  12. Shield Blocked Email Addresses (Not only Domains)

    As of right now it is not possible to block a specific user with the external collaboration access policy restriction. This is only applicable for blocking domains. This request is to be able to add a specific user to the blocked list by email address.

  14. Classification labels are also applied to partial matches for words set in "Custom Term"

    Classification labels are also applied to partial matches for words set in "Custom Term"
    カスタム用語で設定された単語が部分一致した場合にも分類ラベルを適用

    内容
     Classification labels are assigned only when an exact match is registered in the file for the file condition "custom term" in the Management Console > Classification > Classification Policy.
     If you want to assign a classification label to a partially matched term, you need to register all the terms in the "custom term".
     To save time and effort in registering, please improve the system so that classification labels are assigned even when partially matching words are found in the file.

    <Japanese>
     管理コンソール>分類>分類ポリシーのファイル条件「カスタム用語」について完全一致した語句がファイル内に登録されている場合のみ分類ラベルが付与される
     部分的に一致している語句も分類ラベル付与対象としたい場合、すべての語句を「カスタム用語」に登録する必要がある
     登録する手間を省くため、部分的に一致した語句がファイル内に記載されている場合も分類ラベルが付与されるように改善してほしい

  15. Whitelisting file types in Malicious Content scanning in Box Shield

    We are currently seeing a large number of non-malicious files being marked by Deep Scan as malicious, resulting in a lot of false positives. These are files such as .gif or .doc. The primary way to reduce the false positive rate would be to improve Deep Scan's scanning capability. However, I think it would also be beneficial to be able to exclude certain file types that are unlikely to include malware (e.g. .gif) from being scanned.

  18. Box Shield Dashboard "Next" and "Back" button in Alert ID page

    When looking at the specific Alert ID page, I would like to have a "Next" and "Back" page so that I can go to the next Alert ID page. This is because when I get the alert ID result through the filtering and I go back to the Shield Dashboard, the filtering is reset so I need to set the filtering again to see the other Alert ID I wanted to see.
