Extended Detection and Response

Endpoint Detection and Response

EDR: EventSearch CSV export improved

We have recently improved the EventSearch CSV export to increase the limit of events that can be exported from 500 to 5000, with the aim of providing Elements users easy access to review and analyze EDR telemetry in a flexible way.

EDR: Introducing Advanced Response actions for Linux

We have now released a new set of ‘Advanced Response’ actions for Linux. This means you are now ableto retrieve files, retrieve network connections, and kill processes on Linux endpoints. In the next quarter, we are expanding this coverage to Linux SE devices as well as Mac endpoints.

For the full list of response actions, please check the https://www.withsecure.com/userguides/product.html#business/edr/latest/en/responseactions-latest-en .

The Linux response actions can also be triggered from the Elements API, see the API documentation at https://connect.withsecure.com/api-reference/elements#post-/response-actions/v1/response-actions

Email and Collaboration Protection

We have now added a retry bypassing lock, when a SharePoint/Teams/OneDrive file fails to be moved due to locked state.

Identity Security

Security Event visibility

Administrators can now see the security events related to Identity BCDs and their details

You can also create email notifications for these events, by creating a view that filters events based in the Source as ‘Identity Security’. Once you configure an email report based on this view, you can receive email notifications on continuous frequency for the Identity events

The admin can perform similar actions on these events as they do for other events like 'Acknowledge', 'Show all target events', 'Show all similar events'

Exposure Management

Vulnerability Management

EVM: Windows Scan Node Agent

This version correctly recognizes newer versions of the Microsoft C++ Redistributable.

Citrix uberAgent
ProtonVPN

EVM: Portal

API Keys view moved

The API Keys view has been moved to organization settings page and is available as a tab at the top of the page.

Discovery Scan details view updated

We have resolved an issue where Discovery Scan details view was not displaying hosts that had changed status from online to offline, when filtered by “status change”. It's necessary to restart the scan.

Scan node immediate notifications layout has been updated

Resolved multiple issues in Vulnerability details view

In 'Affected network scan targets' section filtering by scan groups has been fixed, as well as saving, updating, restoring and clearing the filter.

Elements Foundations

Elements Security Center

Partner logo on Elements Security Center

Partners may want to display their logo on Elements Security Center when used by their resellers or customers. We had solution to show partner logos in EPP and Vulnerability Management portals. As we unify our offers in Element Security Center, we need the partner logo available for the full Elements Security Center.

A new "customization" tab under Organization settings from where a partner (SOP level) can insert a logo and a support url. The logo will be displayed in the bottom left corner of Element Security Center and visible in all pages. It will replace any logo that might have been configured in old EPP or Vulnerability Management solution.

If the url is configured, it will replace WithSecure support url in the support tab (behind "go to the website" link).

Multi Factor Authentication is now mandatory in Elements

As of August 1st 2024, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory for all Elements users. Users who have not set up an MFA method will be required to do so upon their next login.
