• On the Indicators of Attack (IOA) details page, a new Investigation tab shows telemetry reported by Windows, Mac, and Linux computers in the days around the date of the event that triggered the IOA. You can run SQL queries on the available telemetry for an IOA.

New Features

Verbose Mode

Verbose mode is now available and enables computers to send extended telemetry to the cloud servers. Verbose mode provides detailed system information for IOA resolution. It is useful for security operators who want to simulate proof-of-concept attacks under the MITRE standard.

• You can enable Verbose mode on up to 20 Windows computers in Audit mode.
• This feature requires Windows protection v8.00.23.0000 or higher.

On the Computer details page, there is a new Investigation tab. The Investigation page shows telemetry reported by Windows, Mac, and Linux computers in the last seven days. On this page, you can run SQL queries on the telemetry collected over the last seven days.

Endpoint Access Enforcement

With Endpoint Access Enforcement, you can now monitor connections to Windows computers on the network to help reduce potential infections and attacks from unprotected Windows, Mac, or Linux computers. The Endpoint Access Enforcement dashboard includes several graphs: Connection Map, Top 5 Computers Reporting High-Risk Outbound or Inbound Connections, Number of Connections by Condition, and Number of Connections by Monitored Protocol. Executive reports now include an Endpoint Access Enforcement section.

• By default, Endpoint Access Enforcement monitors inbound connections for SMB and RDP traffic.
• On Windows computers, this feature requires Windows protection v8.00.23.0000 or higher and the Windows agent v1.22.01.0000 or higher; on Mac and Linux computers, it requires the macOS or Linux agent v1.14.01.0000 or higher.
• Connections are allowed only if the configured conditions are met.
• In the Endpoint Access Enforcement settings profile, you can specify risk conditions for computers and add connection rules for protocols other than those monitored by default. You can also select the action to take on computers at risk (Audit or Block).

On the Computer details page, there is a new Monitored Connections tab. The Monitored Connections page shows connections that meet the conditions specified in the Endpoint Access Enforcement rules.

Block Vulnerable Drivers

In a Workstations and Servers settings profile, you can now configure Endpoint Security to block vulnerable drivers. This helps prevent exploitation of the driver by malicious actors. You can exclude detected vulnerable drivers so that they are not detected again. This feature requires Windows protection v8.00.23.0000 or higher.

Enhancements

• Code injection uses anti-exploit techniques to detect exploit attempts in running processes. Code injection now inspects every running process. The inspection could cause performance and compatibility issues for some applications. For more information, go to this Knowledge Base article.
• Anti-exploit protection settings are now easier to configure. In the Advanced Protection section of the Workstations and Servers security settings profile, you now enable anti-exploit protection with the Code Injection toggle. You can exclude specific processes from anti-exploit protection. This feature requires Windows protection v8.00.23.0000 or higher.
• You can now enable advanced scanning with AMSI detection. You can enable AMSI detection technology and exclude specific processes. This feature requires Windows protection v8.00.23.0000 or higher.
