Release information five(9)s Console 5.3

4. SWM - Rule Creation and Assigned Devices (sponsed by Hansgrohe)

Manual Software Mapping has improved the creation of rules. You can select an unconfigured mapping and create a rule based on its specifications. You can also check which devices have the manually mapped software installed.

5. Custom Inventory - Access Rights (sponsed by Hansgrohe)

Each custom inventory field can be restricted to a set of RBA-Group(s). Only those can then edit the respective CI field. This helps you ensuring only your helpdesk or admins edit your vital information.

6. Advanced Patch - Default Patch Group for Linux (sponsored by TUI)

A default Patch Group can now be configured separately for Linux client and server devices. It is automatically assigned to devices that are missing a Patch Group. This ensures that all devices are properly scheduled for patching.

7. DeviceAPI | Cumulative Update

Added information about the Windows Cumulative Update currently installed on the device. That helps third-party applications to check for missing critical monthly patches. Which results in reducing security vulnerabilities and preventing security breaches among your devices.

8. VulnerabilityAPI with SupercededState

The Vulnerability API now includes tracking for superseded vulnerability states. This enables better vulnerability management for third-party applications.

9. SMTP | OAuth Support for Email Configuration

Email notifications now support modern OAuth authentication, replacing deprecated Basic Authentication. This improves security and ensures compatibility with modern email providers and authentication standards.

10. FirstRunWizard | Configuration Without Email SMTP

Admins can now set up the system without requiring SMTP email configuration. Beneficial for restricted or test environments where email notifications are not needed.

11. ComputerInfo | Reboot Needed

The system can now display the required reboot under the computerinfo. This can be useful if you want to disable the security information part in the computer search but want to retain the reboot information.

12. Additional changes

• Remote Control | Grant specific users permission to override Local RC vs Web RC settings
• AdvPatch Suspended Vulnerabilities timeline | See time remaining on suspended vulnerabilities
