New pilot update for Linux Security 64 has been released (2025-11-18)

New early access update for Linux Security 64 (version 12.0.510) has been released. Early access updates are an opt-in mechanism for experiencing new Linux Security 64 versions before they get distributed to all users. This update includes the following changes:

• LNX-879: Added support for excluding certain executables from real-time scanning.
• LNX-373: Elements portal will now show a warning if no paths have been included to real-time scanning.
• LNX-923: Fixed an issue where EDR services would not be properly disabled when migrating from Countercept to Elements.

Dear community,

In line with our plans for unification and streamlining the reporting experience, the Detection & Response Reports view in Elements has now been transitioned to read-only mode.

What does this mean?

• You can no longer create new schedulers or modify existing ones in the Detection & Response Reports view.
• Existing active schedulers will continue to generate reports, and you can still download these reports as usual, until the view is fully removed.

What should you do next?

We encourage you to start using the My Report tab and set up your report there as soon as possible. My Report provides all the same reporting capabilities as the previous view – and even more. It offers an improved and more intuitive experience, with ongoing enhancements and new features planned. Moving to My Report now will ensure you have uninterrupted access to your reports and benefit from the latest updates.

The complete removal of the Detection & Response Reports view is planned for Q1 2026.

Thank you for being proactive and embracing these improvements.
We appreciate your cooperation as we continue to enhance your Elements experience!

Exciting New Release: Identity Inventory Capability!

We are excited to introduce a new feature in WithSecure Elements Identity Security for Entra ID: the Identity Inventory capability.

How to Set Up:

1. Go to the Cloud → Microsoft tenants page in Elements.
2. Connect the new Identity Inventory capability by giving permission to read Entra ID data (no Azure subscription needed).
3. Wait for the scan to complete (it may take up to 36 hours).
4. View all identity data in Environments → Identities.

With Identity Inventory, you can easily see:

• All users and service principals
• Their types and roles
• MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) status.

This update gives you a clear view of identities in your Entra ID environment.
