Malwarebytes Cloud Platform update - April 12, 2018

Malwarebytes updated our cloud platform on April 12, 2018 at 8:00PM EST / 5:00PM PST. As a customer of this platform, we want to take a moment to familiarize you with the changes that are about to become available.

New Features

  • Added Syslog support. Now the Malwarebytes cloud console can transmit detections with Syslog servers and SIEM solutions capable of receiving Syslog messages. This allows organizations to centralize Malwarebytes’ threat detections with their existing threat data. All of this is accomplished without the need to install any additional software. Administrators can enable Syslog support by clicking on the Settings tab in the cloud console, select Syslog Logging, and then pick an existing Windows endpoint to be the communication proxy. Syslog Settings include specifying the IP address/host, port, and protocol along with options for message severity and communication interval (default 5 minutes):

Improvements

  • Updated and redesigned Policies page to improve usability and match ongoing UI improvements. Policy settings are now feature-based vs. product-based:

  • Events are now recorded for Scheduled Scans, regardless if the scans were successful or failed.

  • Improved pagination performance for organizations with thousands of paginated pages of data.
