<h3>Feature</h3>
<p>Artifact Analysis automatic scanning for Ruby, Rust, .NET and PHP vulnerabilities in container images is now <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/#product-launch-stages">generally available</a>. If the Container Scanning API is enabled, it scans container images pushed to Artifact Registry for Ruby, Rust, .NET and PHP vulnerabilities, in addition to already supported operating system and language package vulnerabilities.</p>

<p><strong>With the Enterprise tier, severity levels of certain findings are now variable</strong></p>

<p>In the Enterprise tier of Security Command Center, the default severity level of an active vulnerability or misconfiguration finding can change if the finding&#39;s attack exposure score changes. If you are a user of the Premium tier and you upgrade to the Enterprise tier, check any automated or manual procedures that rely on the value of the <code>severity</code> property to ensure that they can support a variable severity value.</p>

  the Enterprise tier, severity levels of certain findings are now variable</strong></p>\n\n<p>In
  the Enterprise tier of Security Command Center, the default severity level of an
  active vulnerability or misconfiguration finding can change if the finding&#39;s
  attack exposure score changes. If you are a user of the Premium tier and you upgrade
  to the Enterprise tier, check any automated or manual procedures that rely on the
  value of the <code>severity</code> property to ensure that they can support a variable
  severity value.</p>\n\n<p>For more information, see <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/finding-severity-classifications#variable-severities-by-risk-score\">Severities
  that vary based on attack exposure score</a>.</p>\n<strong class=\"release-note-product-title\">Sensitive
  Data Protection</strong>\n<h3>Announcement</h3>\n<p>If you opted to publish your
  data profiles to Security Command Center, you can configure Security Command Center
  to prioritize resources automatically according to the sensitivity of the data that
  the resources contain. For more information, see <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/attack-exposure-learn#priority-values-auto-by-data-sensitivity\">Set
