We have recently performed a scheduled update to our Malwarebytes cloud platform. As a customer of this platform, we want to take a moment to familiarize you with the changes that were made.
New Features
- Created new “Detections” page in the cloud console—combining the previous “Threats” and “Real-Time Protection” pages.
- Added on-demand reporting—beginning with Detection Summary reports—that are generated in CSV format (additional reports coming soon):
- For Malwarebytes Incident Response, we’ve added a scan progress dialogue window that displays all scan phases, files being scanned, number of items being scanned, elapsed time, threats identified on the endpoint. Coming soon for Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection:
- User-initiated scans for Windows and Mac now have the option to be CANCELED
Improvements
-
Completed multiple improvements to the cloud console user interface
-
Display software as a single application (“Malwarebytes Endpoint Agent”) in Add/Remove Programs window on the endpoint
-
Drastically reduced events logged to Windows Event Viewer
-
Enhanced the cloud console “Dashboard” page to include Real-Time Protection data
-
Added additional information to detection details (with more to come in the future)
-
Extended the download timeout period up to 30 minutes for software installations to assist with slow network connections
-
Updated the end-user license agreement
-
Fixed: Addressed an issue discovered when moving large numbers of endpoints between groups
-
Fixed: Localized the Timestamp on the Quarantine page
-
Fixed: Proxy settings now correctly support hostnames
-
Fixed: Unicode characters are now processed correctly in scan result data
Known issues
- Web Protection will prevent web traffic for some customers who are connected to a VPN. For most customers, simply adding the VPN domain as an exception in the Malwarebytes cloud console resolves the issue. We are working on a resolution.
Our next platform update is scheduled for December 2017.
