Enhanced Data Flow
New enhanced data flow in Kabeen: specify technical details and attach documentation
We are pleased to announce the latest enhancements to Kabeen’s data flow management capabilities. These improvements provide more detailed technical information about data flows and the ability to centralize documentation, making it easier to manage and secure your IT.
Key Enhancements
Technical details of Data flows
You can now specify the technical details of data flows, including the protocol used for exchange, data format, technical port used, and encryption. These details will soon be available in the flow diagram filters to help identify flows to implement during a Move to Cloud project or to conduct a risk analysis on unencrypted flows carrying sensitive company data.
Flow documentation
It is now possible to attach documentation to data flows. In some IT systems, flow management is centralized, orchestrated by a scheduler or an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus). These flows are industrialized, and documentation for interfaces or half-flows can now be centralized in Kabeen.
How to Use the Enhanced Data Flow Features
Add Flow Details
Navigate to the "Data Flows" section within the application and select "Add a new flow." Fill in the general information, including the source, target, and type of data being exchanged.Advanced Settings
In the advanced settings, specify the protocol, data format, exchange frequency, technical port, and whether encryption is used. Add any relevant comments or notes.Attach Documentation
Upload any supporting documents directly to the flow record. This can include documentation for interfaces or half-flows, making it easier to centralize and access important information.
Benefits of Enhanced Data Flow Details
Risk Analysis
Conduct a detailed risk analysis of unencrypted flows carrying sensitive company data, ensuring better security and compliance.
Move to Cloud Projects
Identify and implement data flows needed during a Move to Cloud project, streamlining the transition process.
Centralized Documentation
Centralize all documentation related to data flows, ensuring that all team members have access to up-to-date information, improving overall efficiency.
These enhancements provide a comprehensive view of your data flows, making it easier to manage and secure your IT infrastructure. By centralizing this information in Kabeen, you can ensure that all team members have access to detailed and accurate data flow information.
