Overview

macOS Security Data Added to the Cyber Insurance Assessment Report Template

We've expanded the coverage of our Cyber Insurance Assessment report template to now include information on macOS workstations, providing even greater visibility into the state of your macOS workstations when filing out cyber insurance applications.

Newly included macOS Details:

• File Vault Encryption Status
• Remote Login Status
• Remote Management Status
• Antivirus On System
• List of Applications
• Firewall Enabled Status

You can find the Cyber Insurance Assessment report template by navigating to Reports>Templates. For more details on Liongard's Cyber Insurance Assessment, please visit our documentation.

Cyber Risk Dashboard Now Includes macOS Data Tiles

New macOS tiles have been added to the Cyber Risk Dashboard's Endpoint Security Section to provide insights into:

• Total number of macOS workstations in an Environment
• The percentage of workstations with firewall settings enabled
• The percentage of macOS workstations that have RDP enabled

These insights will help partners stay on top of their macOS workstations' security posture and ensure they abide by security best practices by easily tracking their total number of macOS workstations and the percentage of them with Firewall and RDP settings enabled.

While these tiles are hidden by default, partners can easily enable them and customize this and all sections of this dashboard by clicking on the Tiles menu drop-down in the upper-right corner of each section.

New Cybersecurity Default Change Detections

We’ve enabled a new set of Change Detection Metrics to let partners stay on top of changes happening in their end-customer environment. These Change Detections help inform partners when key cybersecurity configuration changes occur, enabling faster assessment and response to ensure that the identified change was valid or take the necessary steps to remediate.

No partner action is needed, as these Change Detections are now enabled in all Liongard instances and will be displayed in your platform as of this release. Below is a list of these newly enabled default Change Detections:

New Agent Version

Liongard has released version 4.2.5 of its endpoint Agent, featuring significant improvements to the reliability and security of the Agent.

Improvements

Agent self-cleanup: We’ve improved how the agent handles cleaning up files that it no longer uses, leading to less disk space being consumed over a long period.

Bug Fixes

Resolved macOS Agent Installer issue: The 4.2.5 macOS Agent installer is now correctly recognized as a signed and notarized installer by Apple.

Resolved macOS Agent Auto-Updating: Resolved an issue that prevented the auto-updating service from functioning properly.

Resolved macOS Agent Certificate issues: Resolved an issue causing inspection failures due to local certificate issues.

Security Enhancements:

Security Patch Updates: Applied the latest security patches to fortify the Agent against vulnerabilities on macOS and Windows platforms.

Improved Liongard Agent Signing: Fixed an issue causing some files not to be properly signed.
