    Dear community,

    A new release 1.0.3329 is being rolled out with the following changes:

    New features:

    • Issuing an "install missing update" operation creates an installation log with status "pending delivery to client" for that patch. This installation status will be shown before the client responds to the installation request. It also temporarily hides the update from the general missing software updates page to better display which updates need action.
    • Software Updates missing patches are now also filterable by platform type.

    Fixed issues:

    • CVE IDs are now correctly aligned in the Software Updates Installation History table.

    Unfortunately this fix did not really fix the problem yet: Security events loading fails for some customer after 2 or 3 pages are loaded and it just keeps showing in loop same events.

    We are working on new fix now.

    Dear community,

    Security events has been implemented with new front-end and filtering technology.

    New features:

    As a first phase we have added the possibility to filter with

    1. "Not equals" option.
    2. Filtering by multiple source and security types

    Next step is to add filtering by time ranges.

    Improvements:

    • This release also fixes the filter menu to stay always at the top of the page, so you don't need to scroll to it to change the filter.
    • Security events page loads also lot faster than earlier.

    Dear community,

    A new release 1.0.3409 is being rolled out with the following changes:

    New features

    • Added settings to show flyers that license is going to be expired soon (General settings → License expiration)
    • "Scan inside mailbox files" option was added to manual scanning settings in windows profiles

    Improvements:

    • Profile editor Automated Tasks CRON hint is improved and now works for macros.
    • Enabled compression of the scope tree loading and this should speed up it's loading time for bigger partners.

    Fixed issues:

    • Profile editor is very slow when editing Application control rules, if you have over 500 rules. This was improved by only loading 50 first rules by default.
    • Show EPP + EDR for computers / servers downloads card if company has only EDR subscriptions.

    EPP Team

    PS. We added few hours later one more new feature

    • Security events page can use the device UUID to filter the events and device UUID is show in the security events details. This alone is not really bringing that much value, but we are soon replacing the device details page Security events tab with filtered view inside security events.
