Platform Release Notes January 2022

[2022-01-14]

Host Isolation

• Hosts running the latest 0.12.44 agent and above will now verify their isolation status using a network connectivity check. If the host fails to isolate, the Portal will communicate this clearly to partners and revert any changes to the host firewall and registry.

Ransomware Canaries

• New features to Ransomware Canaries will roll out to existing partners over the next several weeks and will be enabled by default. New features include:  
• Additional canary file types: PDF and XLSX in addition to DOCX
• System profile canaries
• Embedding partner logos and support URLs into each canary file
• EFS detection
• Ability to disable canaries at an account level 
• For more details, please refer to Huntress Blog and Product Support.

Portal

• Added a banner warning accounts with Windows Server 2008 non-R2 or Windows Vista agents that those OS versions will soon reach the end of support with Huntress. These operating systems will reach end-of-support on Feb 4th. For more information, see here.

SSO Beta

• Removed requirement forcing new SSO-enabled user accounts to pre-set their password prior to using SSO. 
• Account administrators can now enforce SSO for all account users.

Portal

• Implemented detailed Threat Summary reporting at the Organization level

• We added “Service Banners” with the “Service Title” and a brief, on-click information popover which includes a link to our knowledge base to learn more.
• Introduced an “Agent Status” filter to both Account and Organization level Agents pages.
• Filter agents by Unresponsive, Outdated, and Isolated states. As well as view “Service Exclusions,” e.g., Host Isolation.

Ransomware Canaries
