Update Version 4.1.202501101840

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.

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.

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

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.

Update Version 4.1.202411221139

New Features

Added the option to import assets from AWS EC2 Service.

The import function simplifies system adoption by reusing existing network infrastructure and collected data to start system activities.

Added intelligent service resolution to the network flow visualization.

Intelligent service resolution improves readability of network flow visualizations by expressing them in the terminology of service names instead of the port numbers.

Intelligent service resolution uses services configured in the management section of the application. For the services not defined in the management section the intelligent service resolution uses well known port numbers.

The visual network flow diagram displays both service name and a port number in the popup dialogue that appears for the network device node on the chart.
