New Year, New Software!
By the time you are reading this, we should be starting to roll out the most up to date Crystal Eye and we will be in touch via email to let you know that 5.0 is ready to go.
Our entire team from developers to QA testing and our internal Beta testing team have been hard at work getting our latest and greatest in your hands including some of the following new features.
- A visual tool to display rules and zones in Advanced Firewall.
- Improved DNS filtering allowing the banning of categories, domains or groups (defined in the Hosts and Groups application) allowing simplified management of access to content.
- Integration of Defender for Endpoint telemetry into Crystal Eye giving visibility into Defender protected endpoints and threats detected on those endpoints.
The upgrade process has been improved upon previous updates so you should be able to get up and running with the latest even faster than before (upgrading from 4.0 to 4.5 took 15 to 30 minutes with around 1 minute of downtime!).
After the initial release of 5.0, we will continue to introduce new applications and update existing applications automatically in our monthly application update program providing access to enhancements and security patches without interruption every first Wednesday of the month.
With the dawn of 5.0 comes the sunset of 4.0. If you haven’t already received the End-of-Life notification for Crystal Eye 4.0, now is the time to make sure that you are running at least version 4.5 to continue to receive application and security updates.
We are not just excited about 5.0 but we are also thrilled to see Crystal Eye Secure Edge becoming available to your cloud operations. This Single Vendor SASE solution is ready to be deployed at your network edge to protect your assets either in the data center or control access to services that support your business operations.
With PoPs (Points of Presence) coming online around the world, a secure gateway to your cloud edge could be coming to a location near you ensuring a fast and secure user experience no matter where you are.
Of course with all these new updates, we have been hard at work developing the support and training material to help you navigate Crystal Eye 5.0 and we will continue to bring more content from Tech Sprint Sessions where we showcase security concepts and how Crystal Eye can be configured for these scenarios to regular Threat Intelligence Briefings designed to keep the MSSP, CISO and End User up to date on the APT activities that we think you should be aware of.
2024 promises to be a very exciting year for Red Piranha.
