What Changed

The CyeraDSPM solution has been simplified by completely removing the legacy Azure Functions-based data connector while retaining the Codeless Connector Framework (CCF) connector. This architectural change eliminates dual deployment paths that were causing marketplace publication issues.

Security Impact (Visibility & Fidelity)

No impact on data visibility — the CCF connector provides identical functionality to the removed Azure Functions connector. Both connectors ingested the same Cyera API data into custom tables (CyeraAssets_MS_CL, CyeraIdentities_CL, CyeraClassifications_CL, CyeraIssues_CL) for Data Security Posture Management monitoring.

The removal addresses a deployment reliability issue where the deprecated Azure Functions connector was causing marketplace package validation failures, potentially blocking security teams from deploying the solution.

Files Removed

  • Entire Data Connectors/CyeraDSPM_Functions/ directory containing:
    • Python Azure Function code (510 lines of connector logic)
    • Function App deployment templates and configuration
    • Manual installation documentation and deployment packages

Deployment Impact

Existing deployments using the CCF connector remain unaffected. The change simplifies future deployments by removing the manual Function App setup requirement and aligning with Microsoft recommeded direct ingestion approach for Sentinel solutions.
