Release Notes Through 2024-11-14

Overview

Cyber Asset Discovery and Inventory - Beta

Liongard now enables you to establish and maintain an inventory of accounts discovered across the various systems that Liongard inspects. The newly released Cyber Asset Discovery and Inventory will group discovered accounts by email address to present a list of unique Identities. These Identities may be classified by type, for users or services. Newly discovered accounts will be presented for review or automatically associated with existing Identities.

Liongard’s Asset Inventory of Identities enables your team to maintain a robust and accurate inventory of unique identities under management, paving the way for better IT asset management and enhanced cybersecurity posture.

3CX V20 Inspector

Liongard's 3CX Inspector has been upgraded to support version 20 of the 3CX API fully. As part of this enhancement, a new inspector named "3CX" has been introduced to ensure seamless compatibility with the V20 API. The existing inspector has been renamed to "3CX (Legacy)" and will continue to support version 18, providing uninterrupted service for users on the earlier platform.

This enhancement allows you to switch inspectors based on your 3CX deployment seamlessly and ensures continued, reliable monitoring and data collection from 3CX systems.

Enhanced Email Security Report Template

Liongard is upgrading the Email Security Report Template to include new health data for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. With this enhancement, partners can monitor and assess the email security health of their clients' domains across all environments. This addition helps identify potential misconfigurations that may impact both security and deliverability.

By surfacing these critical insights, partners can proactively address vulnerabilities, ensuring their clients' email systems are configured for optimal protection. This update reinforces our commitment to providing deeper insights into email security management, empowering partners to maintain a strong security posture for their clients.
