Save time with Endpoint Trials in WatchGuard Cloud!

This release of Endpoint Security introduces new features for WatchGuard Patch Management. With these enhancements, our partners can manage multiple clients more easily and efficiently than ever before. Through WatchGuard Cloud, partners can take advantage of a centralized and streamlined approach to patch management. Let’s take a closer look at all the new capabilities included in this release:

• Task Management Made Easy: Launch and monitor tasks like checking for missing patches or scanning across all your customers and service providers from a single screen.
• Advanced Patch Filtering: Search, filter, and select specific patches when patching at the Service Provider level for precise control.
• Device-Level Flexibility: Decide which devices get patched and which don’t for tailored deployments.
• Test Groups for Patching: Select specific groups of devices to test patches before full deployment, ensuring a smooth rollout.
• Task Duplication: Save time with the ability to copy or duplicate existing patching tasks for similar use cases.
• Detailed Insights: Access a more comprehensive installation history for better visibility into patch statuses and performance.

We continue to add new features to provide a more comprehensive approach to our customers. Please contact the WatchGuard team if you have any questions or want to start delivering simplified security solutions.

To make sure that communications established by our solutions continue to align with security standards, on 26 November 2024 we will update some of the URLs required by WatchGuard Endpoint Security products.

If you have a firewall, proxy server, or any other network restrictions, you must update settings to allow connections from our solutions to the required URLs. If you allow access to specific URLs, review the changes in this table so you can update your settings.

     Note: If your firewall or proxy server is configured to authorize access to *.pandasecurity.com, you do not need to make any changes.

To make sure that communications established by our solutions align with security standards, we will no longer support TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols after 26 November 2024. After that date, our security solutions will use TLS 1.2 or higher for communications with our servers.

In the next few days, we will update our security software on computers with operating systems that do not support TLS 1.2 or higher. This update will make sure that our security solutions can communicate with the servers securely, even when the operating system does not support TLS 1.2 or higher.

Affected Systems: Computers that run a Windows operating system earlier than Windows 8 (included) and all macOS and Linux computers.

Update Plan:

• Communications agent update: Will take place between 22 and 31 October 2024. You do not need to make any configuration changes.
• Protection software update: During the week of 4 November 2024 we will make the protection update available for affected computers. In the endpoint security management UI, review the Per-computer settings > Updates settings and make sure the affected computers update before 26 November 2024.
