Hi,
we noticed after release that some customers actually cannot migrate the profiles, as the profile is already migrated to Computer Protection profiles. And if you enable channel upgrade in this scenario, it actually assigns also this wrong profile into use.
Only way to get it working correctly in this situation is to delete first the profile from Computer Protection profiles, migrated it then to Server Protection profile and run channel upgrade after this.
We are working on a proper fix, but most likely it will go till weekend.
We are sorry for this problem,

Hi,
a new release is being rolled out to all portals with following changes:
New features
- On device details page you can now display device infections from selected time range.
- Display executed quarantine action with device infections.
Improvements
- Real-time validation of username/email uniquness uses all 3 authentication service regions (EMEA/APAC/AMER).
- It is possible to change the subscription key on a device to Trial type subscription. This improvement is done to allow existing customers more easily to trial and pilot the new RDR products. So now F-Secure can deliver say 5 seat Computer Protection & RDR one month Trial subscription to existing company and then the company administrator can just select 5 devices to the trial and switch them to use the Computer Protection & RDR subcription instead of needing to do uninstallation and new installation with new keys.

Hi,
a new release will be rolled out to all portals in next few days with plenty of features and fixes.
New features
- Improved device control feature:
- Every connected device is enriched with additional data: compatible IDs, hardware IDs, device class, device class description.
- The "Connected devices" tab got a real time filter for the connected devices.
- Device control profile settings got a new feature to filter unneeded devices from the status upstream (hence, filtered out devices will not be shown in the list of connected devices).
- Added new toggle to general profile settings: prefer proxy connection over the direct connection. This feature will require new Computer/Server Protection 19.10 or 20.1 release to work with.
- It is now possible to export and import tables in Computer, Mac and Server Protection profile editors. This feature is still only in English and will be localized in later releases. There is a separate post with video of this feature here .
Improvements
- Issue title on company dashboard is now clickable and redirects to device page with those devices filtered. Earlier you had to click the number on the right side.
Fixed issues
- Spam filtering did not get activated for newly created profiles. It worked just fine with profiles made earlier.
-
Cannot save changes to profiles if Firewall automatic rules has second parameter empty.
-
Start scan time in scheduled scan can't be configured with hour and minutes.
- Cannot save profile after adding Allowed Site to Web site exceptions.
- If a computer was moved to another company, infections sent by the computer are not showing in the new company.

Hi,
a new release was rolled out with the following features:
- Informative notification in home page if computers using Workstation Security (end of life: March 2019) are still registered. It informs that by January 29,2020, we will:
- Block installation of new Workstation Security
- Remove existing Workstation Security that have not connected for two weeks.
- Unify content disabling based on master switch in profile editor: When the master switch in the different profile section is disable, the relevant settings are automatically greyed as they are not applicable.
- Create CSV report for selected devices: Currently, it is possible to export a CSV file containing all computers. This change will allow to export only the computers that are selected in device list view providing a much smaller CSV. A typical use case is to restrict the use to one product type and/or use filter, select all (if less than 1000 computers), and then click on export selected computers report (CSV). Note that is doesn't work yet with search as the "Clear Search" button hide the menu.
- Able to copy profile from one company to another company as SOP/SEP users (supports now only for Computer Protection -tab, will be later added to Computer Protection for Mac and Server Protection profiles)
- Sorting by operating system in device view now considers version number as well
As usual, the release also fixed some outstanding bugs:
- Change subscription feature does not work on channel upgraded PSB Server Protection clients
- All option is greyed out and can't be configure when Browsing Protection is disabled

Hi,
we are now enabling a new feature that allows you to assign different default profiles based on a devices Active Directory organization path. So what does this feature do:
- It supports currently Computer Protection and Server Protection installations.
- When you install a new Computer or Server Protection client, you can assign a profile based on Active Directory organization path instead of the company default profile.
As this is the very first release for new service, it still has the following limitations that we are going to address in the coming months:
- Active Directory organization tree is built based on our software seeing AD paths reported by existing Computer or Server Protection devices. This means you cannot create rules for totally new deployments that don't have clients installed and reporting the AD paths. As very next step we are adding a feature to manually list your AD organization and then import it to PSB portal to be used.
- If your device changes location in your AD organization tree, we currently do not automatically update the assigned profile.
We are already working on a feature that will allow you to make a computer follow changes to its AD path and use that for figuring out its current profile. This can be configured to be enabled on a per company basis.
This new service also changes the process for how profiles are assigned to devices: instead of the assignment happening when a device registers to the system, it now happens when a device first starts sending upstream data to the backend. This allows us to add much more complex logic in the future for determining which profile will be assigned to the device.
The upcoming Computer / Server Protection 20.1 release will also bring a new way of assigning profiles to new installations. You will be able to give the profile id as a command line parameter to the installer when starting the client installation and the device will use the given profile instead of using the company default.
We will also soon roll out the frequently requested ability of filtering devices based on the profile that is assigned to them.
I've attached a couple of pictures that show what the feature looks like in the portal.
Br,
PSB Team.

Hi,
starting today, we are going to block all new installations of Workstation Security 12.01 and older version. This version had end of life in March 2019.
At the same time we start deleting all "offline" Workstation Security devices from the portal automatically. Only way to upgrade these to working state is to manually upgrade them to Computer Protection by running the Computer Protection installer on the device.
For more details see this full article of the changes and instructions.PSB Team
