  • The Predictive Machine Learning detection message type security log will be a statistic in the Malware Detection Web item for the summary report.
Enhancements to Account Security
The following enhancements have been made to account security:
  • Account lock feature enhancement
    Currently, if a user tries to log in with the incorrect password three successive times within an hour, the user must enter Captcha code to ensure that a real person is attempting to log in.
    With the account lock feature enhancement, if a user tries to log in with the incorrect password ten successive times within four hours, the account will be locked for four hours. If the count of failed log-in attempts does not reach ten after four hours from the first failed attempt, the count will be reset to zero. Also, the count will be reset to zero with a successful log in.
  • Enhanced password change security
    Under the Accounts Management screen, you cannot edit the account of the logged in user. You must go to the Change User Profile screen to edit the logged in user's profile. In this screen, you must supply the current password before you can change the password.
  • Enhanced password policy
    The password must be at least 8 characters and must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number, and can optionally contain special characters.
Support for Gateway HA Groups
You can configure two registered gateways as an HA Group to provide high availability access. If one gateway is down, then the other gateway will take over and ensure that the network traffic is not down. An HA Group can increase network traffic efficiency in addition to providing redundancy when a fatal error is encountered.
High Availability Status Widget
Adds the new widget High Availability Status to monitor status of HA Groups.
