Patch Insights: Usability enhancements

We are excited to announce the latest enhancements to Patch Insight, focusing on improving usability and efficiency for our users. This release includes the following key updates:

This change facilitates quicker diagnosis and resolution of issues, enhancing the overall user experience. Refer to 1E Patch Insights features.

  • Accurate patch redirection: Patches now redirect users to the correct support pages, providing easy access to detailed information about each patch. This enhancement streamlines the process of gathering patch information, saving time and reducing confusion. Refer to Patch Insights.

Operational Safeguards: Rule Approval v2

In our 24.11 release, the 1E Platform introduced safeguarding Enhancements to Rule Approval. Version 24.11 focused on visibility and the impact of rule revisions within 1E Endpoint Automation. Admins can now gauge the impact of changes and make informed decisions before they approve or reject rule requests.

Version 24.12 introduces further safeguarding enhancements to rules. Administrators now have access to the following new features and improvements:

  • Admins are now required to provide a reason for any rule revision, giving other administrators clearer context to evaluate and decide on changes. Refer to Defining your own policies.

  • UI enhancements to show changes which are not only Deployed but Approved, Pending Approved, or Pending Deployment. Refer to Rule Approval.

  • Updated rules are now ordered by ModifiedDateTimeStamp in descending order, meaning that the latest rule created will appear at the top.
