MetaDefender Endpoint™ v7.6.2512 Release 

With this new release, administrators can upload and specify the device groups the patches are applicable to, enabling a more strategic rollout approach. This targeted approach allows IT teams to control patch rollouts with greater flexibility and precision, ensuring the right updates reach the right endpoints at the right time.

For enhanced visibility, users can view scan server information during malware and peripheral device scans with detailed insights into all anti-malware engines. Users can now easily view engine statuses, installed versions, and last update times, all in one interface.

With the enhanced Download Protection feature, files blocked during a download will be deleted automatically. This prevents blocked files from remaining in local storage, which can cause confusion to users.

This release introduces a new real-time threat-detection pop-up for immediate visibility. The pop-up displays the detection engine name, the exact detection time, and the identified malware.

Scanning downloads from trusted internal or enterprise services can be unnecessary and time-consuming. For streamlined productivity while maintaining security, MetaDefender Endpoint now supports wildcard-based URL allowlisting for trusted domains and their variations. This allows organizations to exempt certain downloads from standard scanning, enabling seamless workflow while ensuring security and compliance.

Maintaining system stability is just as important as staying up to date. With the new ability to enforce specific approved patch versions, organizations gain tighter control over exactly which updates can be applied. This is especially valuable for environments with mission-critical applications, where compatibility must be validated before rolling out to a broader audience. By ensuring only approved patch versions are deployed, administrators can safeguard system reliability while still closing security gaps in a controlled manner.

After a MetaDefender Endpoint update to the latest version, users will now see a notification followed by a release highlights pop-up. This ensures that end users are aware of the new features and enhancements included with the latest version, encouraging the adoption of new capabilities and helping organizations keep their workforce informed about the tools that protect their environment.

Administrators have full control to enable or disable this feature directly from the management console, ensuring the experience aligns with organizational policies and communication preferences.
