Editor\u2019s Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are currently gearing up to our annual SPHERE event for Partners, which will include the launch of some new products and services. Stay tuned for more information!<\/p>\n

Extended Detection and Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Endpoint Protection<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Elements Agent for Windows and Server updated<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A new version of the endpoint clients has been released. This release makes the Elements Agent version 25.2 available (internal version 25.2.408).<\/p>\n

The endpoints automatically upgrade, without a reboot.<\/p>\n

Enhanced Lock Workstation Task<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have improved the functionality of the Lock Workstation automated task to ensure it does not interrupt ongoing Microsoft Teams meetings, providing a seamless experience during active calls.<\/p>\n

Optimized Software Updater Rescans<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have introduced a cooldown period to reduce the frequency of Software Updater rescans triggered by Windows updates, minimizing redundant scans and improving system performance.<\/p>\n

Exposure Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Luminen (Elements AI) enhanced recommendation descriptions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

These are now\u00a0globally available<\/a>\u00a0to all XM partners and customers.<\/p>\n

When visiting recommendation details page, AI generated description and title are shown<\/p>\n

There is the possibility of giving feedback by clicking on thumbs-up and thumbs-down icons at the bottom of the recommendation description<\/p>\n

Please see the following item for more information.<\/p>\n

Recommendation algorithm improvements<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The algorithm has been improved to generate less “Inconclusive” recommendations<\/p>\n

Luminen comes to Exposure Management<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Last year, we introduced both Luminen (WithSecure AI assistant) and WithSecure Exposure Management (W\/XM) in our annual launch event, Sphere. Since then, one of the most frequently asked questions we are getting must be \u201cwhen is Luminen coming to XM\u201d?<\/p>\n

We are happy to announce that Luminen has now landed to XM. And what a beautiful match it is! Luminen is now responsible for creating remediation instructions for all the issues that XM scans are detecting. Luminen is combining public information with content explicitly written by our security specialists. And as Luminen is an international cyberpunk owl, the update also brings the much-requested translations to many languages incl. Japanese, French and German.<\/p>\n

\"Picture8.png\"<\/img><\/a><\/figure>\n

The initial release includes universal instructions for both immediate remediation and also for proactive steps. It will be followed shortly with what we like to call context sensitive instructions. These instructions utilize the information about your particular assets to produce more detailed remediation instructions.<\/p>\n

We will continue developing Luminen and introducing even more helpful features in the future. Stay tuned for more Luminen magic!<\/p>\n

Exposure Management for Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Exposure Management Portal<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Better integration to the Devices view<\/strong><\/h5>\n

We have now integrated the VM portal with the Devices \u2192 Computers<\/em> view. Scanning controls (“enable\/disable”) are coming soon. The Device Discovery<\/em> view now automatically reflects the current scan status of devices from the Devices \u2192 Computers<\/em> view.<\/p>\n

Improved performance of data sync<\/strong><\/h5>\n

We have improved the performance of including Assets and Vulnerabilities within Exposure Management.<\/p>\n

Exposure Management System Scan<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Support for detecting vulnerabilities in the following products was added to Authenticated Scanning:<\/p>\n
