Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>Monitoring > Online Meetings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teramind already supports the most popular online meeting apps. Now, you can track even more meetings with the support for WebEx Web:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"WebEx<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The meetings will show up under the Monitoring <\/strong>> Online Meetings<\/strong> and on the Employee <\/strong>> Activity Log<\/strong> report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Powerful Business Intelligence & Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve updated BI Reports to make them powerful and more convenient to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create Rules Quickly from the BI Filters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>BI Reports > Filter Panel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can create rules directly from a BI Report! We\u2019ve added a new CREATE BEHAVIOR RULE<\/strong> button on the Filter Panel <\/em>of the BI Reports. Using this feature you can quickly build a rule out of the selected filters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Create<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reduce False Positives and Find Out Exactly What Triggered a Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>BI Reports > Behavior Alerts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Behavior Alerts BI Report provides even more details now. A new column, Matched triggers<\/strong> was added to the grid widget on the Behavior Alerts<\/strong> report. This column shows what triggered the rule and exactly what rule criteria and conditions were detected when the rule was violated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Behavior<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This data point, along with the Description<\/em> data point will help you better investigate a rule violation incident and gather more contextual insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smarter Behavior Policies & Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A new feature was added to the Behavior Policies & Rules for productivity optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Out How Engaged Your Employees are with Focused Time Tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>Behavior > Policies > Rules Editor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequent task-switching and interruptions can cost employee productivity, increase overall work hours and cause burnout. Our newest monitoring feature, Focused Time<\/strong> tracking provides more context to productivity and better enables you to spot employee burnout and disengagement faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address excessive app and task switching, we\u2019ve introduced two new rule conditions: Focused Time<\/strong> and Total Focused Time<\/strong> to help you find out if employees are maintaining a healthy habit between activity, focus, and breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Behavior<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can use these two conditions with any applications or websites on an Activity<\/em>-based rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced Security & Compliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have added three new security and compliance features and implemented various security improvements and hardening to the overall platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enforce a Strong Password Policy to Secure Your System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>Settings > Security<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have added a new, Password Policy<\/strong> section on the Security<\/em> screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Password<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stronger passwords help prevent your systems from being compromised and your data stolen. A strong password policy is also often compulsory for many compliance and security standards such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These new settings will allow you to define a set of rules that will impose strong password creation such as including special characters or a minimum length. The rules created under this policy will be enforced whenever a user password is created or changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disable Password Managers to Minimize Password Leaks and Account Compromises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>MonitoringSettings > Advanced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most modern browsers have a password manager that prompts you to save passwords from login forms on websites. While this is convenient, it’s a security risk. The default password management features available in browsers seem secure but a web browser can be broken into, and malware or weak plugins\/extensions can expose your saved passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teramind has introduced an ADVANCED monitoring setting, DISABLE BUILT-IN PASSWORD MANAGER OF KNOWN BROWSERS to disable password managers built into the browsers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Disabling<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once enabled, the feature will disable the password-saving option on any supported browsers. The user will not be able to override the option. It\u2019s important to note though, standalone password managers like LastPass will still work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhance the Privacy, Safety, and Security of Your Endpoint with the New Agent Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platform Availability: <\/strong>Cloud, On-Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find it On the Dashboard: <\/strong>N\/A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have added several command line options that can be used during the installation of the Agent. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
