New Features

Support for CSV Files in Files Content Sharing Rules

Category: Behavior Rules

We are introducing support for CSV files in Files Content Sharing rules. This will allow you to scan for sensitive contents inside CSV files.

Automated Monitoring of the Default Admin and All Users

Category: Monitoring

On Cloud deployments, monitoring via Revealed Agent will be turned on for the main Admin when they log in. In this case, the main Admin will be counted as a consumer of 1 license.

On-Premises customers can use the following flag in their kv_store to make this change:

auto_enable_monitoring.default_admin

The default value is: enabled.

The same behavior can be configured for all users with the following flag:

auto_enable_monitoring.all

The default value is: disabled.

Restrict Password Reuse

Category: Settings/Security

Set your own threshold for how many previously used passwords are disallowed from being utilized again with the USERS MAY NOT REUSE THE PAST N PASSWORDS option found under the Password Policy section on the Settings > Security screen.

This will specify and enforce how many of the most recent passwords cannot be reused.

Ex) If the value is 3, users cannot reuse the previous three passwords when changing their password. The default value is 10.

Account Lockout Options

Category: Settings/Security

Three new options were added under the Password Policy section on the Settings > Security screen to configure account lockout due to invalid login attempts:

  • LOCK ACCOUNT DUE TO INVALID PASSWORD ATTEMPTS: will let you toggle the account lockout feature.

  • LOCK ACCOUNT AFTER: will let you specify how many attempts will be allowed after the account is locked out. For example, if you specify 3, the account will be locked out on the third invalid attempt.

  • LOCKOUT DURATION: will let you specify how long (in minutes) the account will remain locked.

This feature is available on request. Please contact your customer service representative to activate this feature on your instance.

Show Agent Versions on the Download Screen

Category: UI

Agent version will be displayed on the download screen*.

*Teramind Cloud - Mac users will have this feature available in a future release.

Dashboard Notification for New Agent Release (Cloud)

Category: UI

A notification will be shown when a new version of the Agent is available for download.

Support for FQDN for Site Nodes

Category: Server

Previously, Teramind only supported IP addresses for its site nodes. Now, it will support FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) too. Among other things, this will allow a deployment to support Elasticsearch clusters for the OCR.

This feature is available on request. Please contact your customer service representative to activate this feature on your instance.

New Revealed Agent Parameter to Enable Auto-Login without Username/Password

Category: Agent

We have added a new configuration parameter that can be used to enable auto-login without entering the username/password. This can be done either through the config file (revealed-passwordless) or the installation command (TMREVEALEDPASSWORDLESS).

Cloud customers have to contact their customer service representatives to activate this feature on their instances. On-Premise customers can activate it from the kv_store.

More information about this feature can be found in this article.

[Mac] Support for Domain Names in Websites Settings

Categories: Monitoring Settings

The DON'T MONITOR WEB TRAFFIC FOR THESE IPS field on Monitoring Settings > Websites will now support domain names in addition to IP addresses and masks.

[Mac] Ability to Customize the Installation Package

Category: Agent

We have added the ability to customize the standard installation package so that you can add any scripts or modify the configuration file post-installation.

[Mac] New MDM Configuration Profiles
