A dedicated dashboard layout for customers managing only MetaDefender Kiosk
Introducing an enhanced "Endpoint Last Seen" widget to provide clear visibility into endpoint agent connectivity patterns. Streamline troubleshooting and maintain network-wide oversight effortlessly.
This fix optimized the auto-sync mechanism to ensure workflow configurations are pushed consistently to all enrolled Kiosks, preventing server overloads during large-scale policy syncs.
Fixed issues that cause Kiosk exports to return inconsistent results for the same date range, ensuring accurate and reliable reports.
Fixed a visual issue where some file scan reports incorrectly showed “Failed to calculate hash” even though the hash was available.
Endpoint Security Solution
New unified patch management solution automates end-to-end patching workflows to remove manual tasks and speed up the remediation of critical vulnerabilities.
Refer to Patch Management guidelines for detailed instruction.
Customers managing only MetaDefender Endpoint will now land on the Endpoint Security Dashboard by default upon login, ensuring critical data is front-and-center from the start.
Admins can now create application control exceptions by Device Username and Hostname, making it easier to manage exceptions at scale.
OT and Cyber-Physical Systems Solution
This update brings enhanced integration over MetaDefender Industrial Firewall deployments via streamlined policy configuration and simplified license management, eliminating operational silos.

File Security Solution
Processing history now supports the Aether engine, ensuring My OPSWAT Central Management delivers a consistent and accurate representation of threat analysis data.
Introducing new verdict filters in Processing History, including Exceeded Archive Expansion Factor; Allowed Verdict by Threat Intelligence, and Blocked Verdict by Threat Intelligence for clearer security analysis.
Network Access Control Solution
NAC now sends in-app notifications when a device is blocked as a result of a "Device Unresponsive" event. A notification will appear in the bell icon, clicking the notification redirects you directly to the Device Inventory page for immediate visibility and action.
NAC introduces support for a new device type: VOIP. This addition extends the device enrollment use case to cover VOIP devices, allowing administrators to onboard and manage them alongside existing supported device types.
Additional Features
Administrators can search for any instances using custom-defined tag keys, making it more intuitive to find and manage inventory across large-scale, multi-location deployments.
Admins can customize tag keys and values to search through in Inventory.
Admins can now switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats globally, eliminating timestamp confusion in logs and reports.
