Malwarebytes updated our cloud platform on September 13, 2018. 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
- None
Improvements
- For Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and Response only - Added granular Endpoint Isolation options, enabling administrators to specify one or more isolation methods to be applied to the selected endpoint. By default, all three isolation types will be selected:
Added Malwarebytes AdwCleaner for use and download from the “Add unmanaged solution:
-
Added capability to use shift key + mouse click to select ranges of items for tables that allow batch actions.
-
Updated Malwarebytes tray icon so that end users who are permitted by policy to initiate scans can bring their minimized scan progress window back into focus by simply double-clicking on the Malwarebytes tray icon.
-
Changed the Malwarebytes Self-Protection Module so it’s enabled by default for all new customer accounts. This setting controls whether Malwarebytes creates a safe zone to prevent malicious manipulation of the program and its components. Enabling this setting introduces a one- time delay as the Self-Protection Module is enabled. While not a negative, the delay may be considered undesirable by some end users. We strongly recommend existing customers enable this setting in their security policies.
-
Added a loading spinner animation while paginating through large sets of data.
-
Removed Anti-Exploit shield from Chrome due to Google’s new policy against code injection into Chrome.
-
Extended the timeout toggle for “Remote Assistance” to 4 hours.
-
Updated Syslog Communication feature so that the designated endpoint cannot be uninstalled using the Deployment & Discovery tool unless it’s first unselected within the Syslog Communication setting. This prevents administrators from inadvertently losing syslog messages. Before removing an endpoint, Malwarebytes cloud administrators will need to first disable Syslog Communication in the console or promote a different endpoint
