Upcoming changes to Navigation in Elements Security Center
Earlier, we started re-vamping the navigation in Elements Security Center, to make the navigation less product-centric, and more about the capabilities of Elements.
We will soon be making the next set of changes, which will bring Elements Vulnerability Management (EVM) capabilities to the new navigation. For those customers who have already been using Elements Expososure Management during the Early Access phase, these changes should be familiar.
These changes will be released to the Elements Security Center on September 30th 2024, and will bring Elements Vulnerability Management capabilities closer to the rest of Elements.
You can find out more details about the changes in our dedicated community article.
EVM System Scan
The following products have been added or updated in the detection capabilities for authenticated scanning for Windows:
- Dell Power Manager
- Cato Networks Windows SDP Client
- Mp3tag
- Splashtop Streamer
In case you missed it
Luminen skills for all Elements users
After 3 months of positive feedback from our Luminen Early Access program, which brought AI-powered reporting and analytics to both Broad Context Detections and Security Awareness, we are now taking the first steps on enabling this level of functionality for more of our users. What is crucial, Luminen will be automatically visible and accessible to all users and free!
You can find out more details, including the schedule, at our dedicated community article.
End of support for old installers
As a reminder, we will soon be stopping support for the use of very old product installers. Customers using product installers dated 2022 or earlier should ensure that they are using the latest installers.

All WithSecure services with one user login
Access to WithSecure systems is based around the WithSecure Business Account. This account is your single login for all services that you have been granted access to.
We have now created a new unified login page which brings all the access points together, and we hope you’ll use it as your entry to our systems. As we introduce new products and services using the WithSecure Business Account, these will be added to the page too!
You can find out more in community article.
Why Robust Updates are important
During July, many organizations were badly affected by a faulty update released by one of our competitors. These organizations included airports, airlines, banks, and many others too.
We have taken the time to create an article explaining why these updates, and any updates for that matter, should be robust and well tested before release.
