What’s Changed in Endpoint Protector 5.9.4
Netwrix Endpoint Protector Rebranding
This release marks the beginning of a soft rebranding initiative for Netwrix Endpoint Protector, which includes its Server, Client, and Enforced Encryption components. The purpose of this change is to enhance visual consistency and align with Netwrix’s overall branding strategy.
New branding cover:
- CoSoSys Endpoint Protector is now Netwrix Endpoint Protector
NOTE: All hardcoded e-mail addresses are not changed from CoSoSys.com domain to avoid misconfiguration issues of any existing firewall filtering configuration.
NOTE: Modules abbreviations are not changed.
Customizable Sender Email Address for Alerts
Administrators can now customize the “From” email address used in alert notifications by specifying a preferred sender address in the Netwrix Endpoint Protector Server Alternative mail method configuration.
Device Control (DC)
Enhanced File Rename Tracking on MacOS
You can now capture both source and destination file names during file renames on MacOS for complete audit trails and accurate shadowing.
Content Aware Protection (CAP)
Improved Browser Printing Monitoring
Enhancements to Netwrix Endpoint Protector expand monitoring capabilities for web browser printing beyond print spooler notifications, ensuring broader coverage across various printing methods and printer types. This upgrade strengthens data loss prevention efforts by enhancing control over unauthorized or accidental printing.
Defining behavior for not Content Aware Printing
This update introduces new settings that allow you to configure the action triggered when Content Aware Protection cannot access the content of the printed file.
Strengthened Data Protection with Improved MPIP Integration
This release enhances mobile threat defense for organizations using Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP), also known as MIP; enabling interception of files based on their MPIP label names or GUIDs to enforce stricter control over sensitive data access and transfer on mobile devices. Improved integration in Netwrix Endpoint Protector Server WebUI also offers a more comprehensive configuration option, strengthening your organization’s security strategy.
Enhanced MPIP Encrypted Office Files Label Recognition
Content Aware Protection (CAP) can now detect sensitive metadata within MIP encrypted Microsoft Office files, ensuring accurate detection and blocking of sensitive content.
Enhanced User Remediation Messaging with Rich Text Editing
Administrators can now format User Remediation messages with bold, italics, underline, text color, hyperlinks, and different font sizes, enabling them to create clear, visually appealing, and impactful messages that enhance user comprehension and encourage policy compliance.
Enhanced Control for Hightail Express File Sharing
Hightail Express can now be designated as a controlled application in Content Aware Protection, allowing you to monitor and regulate file transfers through this popular service.
Expanded Content Aware Protection Policies
The maximum number of Content Aware Protection (CAP) policies has been increased, allowing for more granular control over sensitive data.
Expanded Content Aware Protection Policies
The maximum number of Content Aware Protection (CAP) policies has been increased from 48 to 300, allowing for more granular control over sensitive data.
Expanded Deny/Allowlists limits
The maximum number of Deny/Allowlists has been increased up to 1 000 list per category, and each list limit has been increased to 50 000 entries per list, allowing for more granular control over sensitive data. Notably, the Allowlist Network Share category is not affected by this change.
Improved Deny/Allowlists Management in CAP and eDiscovery
We have enhanced the ability to create and manage more deny/allowlists and entities per list, benefiting both Content Aware Protection (CAP) and eDiscovery with improved data filtering and investigation efficiency.
MyBox File Uploads Now Detectable with CAP
Content Aware Protection (CAP) now identifies and controls file uploads to MyBox, extending security to popular cloud storage platforms.
More Precise OneDrive Content Inspection
Content Aware Protection (CAP) now extracts text more accurately from OneDrive DOC and DOCX files via the Chrome extension, reducing false positives and blocking only files containing selected sensitive data (e.g., SSN US).
Improved Google Docs Text Extraction
Enhanced text extraction in Google Docs ensures accurate content inspection and minimizes false positives.
Improved Google Sheets Text Extraction
Improved text extraction in Google Sheets reduces false positives for secure content analysis.
Enhanced Mac Monitoring with Microsoft Remote Desktop Support
