    Deprecation Notice for Classic Box as a Forensic Destination

    Deprecation Notice for Classic Box as a Forensic Destination

    This deprecation notice is for the customers who are using Classic Box as a forensic destination. If you have any queries, contact your Netskope customer success manager or support@netskope.com.

    Summary of Change

    Starting release 123, Netskope will no longer support Classic Box as a forensic destination. Due to this change, new customers cannot use Classic Box as a forensic destination. Existing customers can continue to use this feature till December 31 2025.

    Fine Print

    Netskope no longer supports the Forensic feature, when you create a new Classic Box instance from Settings > Configure App Access > Classic > SaaS > Box. Here are the fine print:

    • For existing customers who are using the classic Box as a forensic destination, the feature will continue to work till December 31 2025.

    • For new customers, the classic instance setup UI for Box will no longer have the forensic checkbox. New forensic Box instances cannot be enabled.

    • Existing customers using classic Box as a forensic destination, can disable the forensic checkbox from the UI. However, once disabled, you cannot re-enable it.

    • Existing customers who have not enabled the forensic checkbox cannot enable it going forward.

    General Recommendation

    As an alternative, Netskope recommends creating a new Box instance using the Next Gen workflow. To learn more: Set up Box Forensic Instance.
