Release Notification – New Webroot Management Console

We’re pleased to announce the new Webroot Management Console was released on Tuesday, April 27.

Our team of UX designers, software & quality Assurance engineers worked tirelessly with our partners and customers over the past two and half years. They have gone deep to understand what was needed, what wasn’t and how people develop muscle memory in their day-to-day operations. This effort has delivered a purpose-built new aesthetic and minimalist design with a new color scheme and styling for easy access to the right tools at the right time.

    • Actionable remediation workflows
    • Site-to-site navigation

Release Notification – Web Threat Shield Beta

We're excited to announce the Beta release of the Web Threat Shield Blocked URL Notifications module within the Beta Unity API.

What is being released?

Designed to be consumed by an array of technologies such as SIEMS, RMM platforms, plugins, Syslog Servers, PSAs, and partners such as EDR/MDR manufacturers, platform partners and individual users. Each have their own requirements and needs across multiple events from multiple security layers. Since the Unity API already covers a broad spectrum of our technologies, its important notifications addresses as many needs as possible.

This release also includes small enhancements to the production API.

New Feature

  • This release adds a new event Notifications type WebThreatShield.UrlAction, which can be subscribed to. The notification provides information when Web Threat Shield blocks a user from visiting a dangerous or inappropriate web site, or when a user whitelists a URL or requests reclassification. For more information, see the list of supported event types in the Notifications Guide here.
