Last Updated:Nov 21, 2025

After purchasing a Data Security Center (DSC) instance, you must enable the required features to use DSC to detect sensitive data in big data products such as TableStore, MaxCompute, AnalyticDB-MYSQL, and AnalyticDB-PG, or to audit databases.

    Note

    After you purchase a DSC instance, an asset list sync task runs automatically the first time you log on to the console. You do not need to run this task manually.

Asset synchronization is not supported for AnalyticDB-PG.
