Update Version 4.1.202501311425

New Features

Added support to display time schedule in human readable format.

The application allows to schedule various periodic activities such as data collection from the endpoints, traffic monitoring or asset discovery.

New Features

Added support for continuous asset import.

The option enables continuous discovery of new resources in LDAP, AWS and VMWare sources with the options to validate the source data, update the asset database while applying metadata, intelligent tagging rules, and triggering script executions.

The continuous discovery follows flexible schedule specifications with the options to limit hours or days to run the import process.

Added the option to suggest network segmentation based on detected connections and tagging.

The option simplifies design of microsegmentation policies by automatically partitioning assets based on the network connections collected from the asset endpoints, asset tagging (optionally) and analytical models defining segmentation parameters.

The application visualizes automatically generated partitions (clusters) on the Network Traffic Flow chart to suggests the ways to enhance asset tagging and create segmentation policies.

Network architects might try various analytical models to find the best approach to network segmentation such as partitioning the network on few broad segments as opposed to many fine-grained ones, to consider tagging for automatic partitioning or to rely mostly on the existing network traffic.

Automatic segmentation suggestions provide a good option to understand the network structure, resource dependencies, and to refine segmentation policies started with the suggested point.

Update Version 4.1.202412201927

New Features

Added the option to visualize a segmentation policy.

The option to visualize a segmentation policy on the Network Traffic Flow chart highlights target assets for the selected policy. Additionally, for each interactively selected target asset the option highlights the group of source assets allowed to connect to it following the rules of the selected policy.

The policy visualization option allows the network architect to analyze the connections that will be allowed after the policy publishing, the connections that would be dropped and the connections that did happen in the past but will be dropped (or allowed) when the policy will be enforced.

Added the option to create new Segmentation Policy using the Network Flow Chart

The option simplifies design process of Segmentation Policies by enabling the architect to visually define policy targets using Network Traffic Flow chart with graphically highlighted targets.

The intelligent policy creation mechanism suggests the service on the policy as well as the source assets selection based on the collected connections data displayed by the Network Traffic Flow chart.

Added graphical Asset Segmentation view.

The Asset Segmentation view of the Network Traffic Flow Chart displays all assets in the selected container even without detected connections including display of the connections that was detected during data collection from the asset endpoints..

The Asset Segmentation view allows comprehensive visualization of the effects of the segmentation policies for all assets involved in the network communications whether detected in the past or allowed in the future after publishing the policies and enforcing them on the asset.

Like the Network Traffic Flow chart itself, the Asset Segmentation view allows drilling-down through the container hierarchy, visual asset search, policy visualization, interactive conversion of host endpoints to new assets or network locations, mass asset tagging, promoting and policy creation.

Release notes for the December 15, 2024 update

Update Version 4.1.202412132016

New Features

Added the option to create assets using Network Traffic Flow Chart

Add Asset option allows to identify and to classify devices using visual detected network connections map on the Network Traffic Flow Chart to apply application policies.

The option further advances Network Traffic Flow Chart to become an active visual facility for analyzing and classifying network devices from the data collected from the network.

Added Drill-down option to the Network Traffic Flow Chart.

Drill-down option allows to expand or to focus Network Traffic Flow Chart following the asset container hierarchy. Unlike diagram zoom, drill-down option reduces (or increases) number of nodes and connections on the visual chart based on the assets located in selected container (instead of changing the size of the existing chart on the screen that zoom does).

The option helps to analyze and to manage large networks by dividing them to hierarchical structures.

Added multi-parameter search option to the Network Traffic Flow Chart.

Multi-parameter search allows to find assets on the Network Traffic Flow Chart using several criteria that further refine each other results. The criteria allow search by the taxonomy terms or by asset name or description. Search by term includes all sub-terms of the selected term in the search criteria.

Multi-term search enables research of the effects of the microsegmentation policies using visual network representation by following policy selectors identification of assets.

Added the option to mass-add selected non-asset hosts from the Network Traffic Flow chart to new or existing Network Location

The option to aggregate non-asset hosts to few Network Locations using visual representation allows to simplify Network Traffic Flow Charts reducing the number of objects they display. The option also simplifies visualization of the design of microsegmentation policies grouping multiple outbound connections to few network location assets.
