Hello,
I would like to propose an idea for WithSecure Policy Manager and the WithSecure Clients.
Problem:
In both the past and current year, we encountered an issue where our WithSecure Policy Manager Proxy stopped downloading virus definition updates. Although the system remained reachable, clients continued to operate under the assumption that everything was functioning correctly, despite using outdated definitions.
Idea:
Introduce a configurable fallback mechanism that triggers when the local virus definition files are older than n days. This would be similar to the existing fallback system that activates when an update source is unreachable, but based on the age of the definitions rather than connectivity.This would improve resilience and ensure that clients are not operating with outdated definitions.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
