[b]Mac Policy Management, Custom Block Pages, and Remote Device Management[/b] We’ve made a series of updates to endpoints under your management, and our final step in this round is to enable these exciting updates in the Global Site Management Console. Next week, we’ll be updating the Global Site Management Console to enable Mac® policy management, allow personalization for block pages displayed by the Web Threat Shield, and more granular device management via the GSM console. Based on customer feedback, we will be enabling policy management for Mac endpoints in two stages. The first step will enable configuration changes in the GSM console, while the second will update endpoints to respond to the new policies. This approach will allow administrators to make policy decisions based on available options and communicate to their customers in advance of the changes. The timing of this second step will be based on customer feedback, and we will notify you a week prior to the upd

[h2]Introduction[/h2]As part of our continuing Mac parity development we are releasing a new Agent build 9.0.1.27 on the 11th of April, which will help us move further towards providing Mac OS parity with our MS Windows endpoint security visibility and management. [list=1] [*][b]NEW - [i]Enhanced agent data reporting to cloud [/i][/b][i]–[/i] Agent status will now be sent up upon the action of one or more triggers. These triggers will match PC triggers where applicable. The result of this change is that updated agent status values are now sent more regularly, as previously these values were only sent when the UI was opened. (In some business environments that might not happen often, or in some cases ever.) [*][b]NEW - [i]Enhanced speed of scan start[/i][/b] – This simply mean that Mac endpoint scans now start much faster and noticeably so over the current version.

[img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/wsab_endpoint_logo_v2.png[/img] The number of devices deployed with Mac operating systems is increasing in business environments. A report by Statcounter (November 2015) states that 9.4% of all desktop browsers utilize a Mac OS version. This Mac OS ‘Reporting Parity’ release forms part of an ongoing programme to enhance the Administration experience for our Customers and Managed Services Partners administrating Mac OS devices within their environment. With this release Administrators will have visibility of all devices operating Mac OS, as this release is specifically designed to deliver data on Mac Endpoints in all views, reports, and management screens within the management console. These Mac features are present in both our Standard and Global Site Manager (GSM) consoles.

[img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/wsab_endpoint_logo_v2.png[/img] [b]OVERVIEW[/b] This release makes it much faster and easier for an administrator to view devices needing attention and devices that have an encountered a threat by removing the need to navigate to the individual site level. The Global Site Manager (GSM) console now displays which devices currently require attention, have recently encountered infections, and a view of the threats encountered on each device at the console's global sites level. In addition to exposing this information at a high level within the GSM console we have also made the capabilities to initiate a device clean-up, whitelist, or restore from quarantine a file which has been encountered on any device. This release also contains improvements to the billing user interface and other minor enhancements requests.
