Dashboard & Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Identify Risks Early with the New Insider Threat Dashboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have added a new Insider Threat Dashboard under the Dashboards<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The Insider Threat Dashboard shows you a summary of organizational risks. You can view risks by rule type, risk scores by rules, risks by departments, top risky employees, etc. You can click on a graph to drill down to individual risks, rules, and users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nUse Case:<\/b> The dashboard will help you identify risks early, find out where the gaps are, and take preventive actions before the risks become real threats.\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nThis is a feature on request only. Please contact your customer support representative to activate this feature on your instance.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Behavior Policy & Rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assign Risks to Rules with the New Classification Tags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have added a few built-in tags to the rules. These can be selected from the MARK THIS POLICY WITH TAGS TO IDENTIFY ITS PURPOSE<\/strong> field on a rule’s General<\/em> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The tags are used on the Insider Threat Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Insider<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\nUse Case:<\/b> The tags will help you better organize the rules, and classify the rules according to their risk profile. These special tags along with the rule violation severity can also be used with the new Insider Threat Dashboard to measure organizational risks proactively.\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nThis is a feature on request only. Please contact your customer support representative to activate this feature on your instance.\n<\/div>

Security & Account Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Better Manage the Security of Your Account with the 2FA Enhancements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have introduced a number of changes and new options to the 2-Factor Authentication. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email-Based 2FA Verification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have introduced an option to support email-based 2-Factor Authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Email-Based<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can enable the feature by turning on the Settings<\/strong> > Security<\/strong> > ENABLE MFA VIA EMAIL<\/strong> option. You can then enable\/disable the email 2FA option from your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nUse Case:<\/b> This will help you use the 2FA even if you don\u2019t have a second device or do not want to use a 2FA App.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2FA Trusted Device<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have added an option, Trust this device for 15 days <\/strong>to the 2-Factor Authentication<\/em> screen. If the option is enabled, you will not be asked for a 2FA code for 15 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2FA<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will be able to use this option on multiple devices (each with its own time period) and for both Authenticator App<\/em> and Email<\/em> authentications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nUse Case:<\/b> This option will be useful if you frequently use the same computer(s) and do not want to log in with the 2FA all the time.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2FA Enrollment Timeout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have added a timeout feature on the 2FA enrollment screen. The user will have to set up the 2FA before this timeout expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2FA<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The timeout value is taken from the Settings<\/strong> > Security<\/strong> > IDLE TIMEOUT<\/strong> field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the timeout is expired and the user hasn’t set up the 2FA, they will be logged out. The event will be recorded in the System<\/strong> > System Log <\/strong>and the BI Reports<\/strong> > Audit<\/strong> reports as a Logout\/Time left<\/em> event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2FA<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\nUse Case:<\/b> This feature will enhance account security such as protecting your login from an unattended system while letting administrators audit users who don\u2019t complete their 2FA setup.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SSO vs 2FA Exclusivity (Cloud)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Previously, 2-Factor Authentication was always enforced on Cloud deployments. Now, you can disable it if you enable the Single Sign On (SSO) authentication. You can configure them on the Settings<\/strong> > Security<\/strong> screen under the Dashboard authentication<\/em> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SSO<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\nUse Case:<\/b> The ability to use SSO and 2FA exclusively will make it easy for some customers who do not need the 2FA because it\u2019s already handled at the SSO authentication stage. Or customers who do not want to use 2FA and SSO together for other reasons.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get More Information About Your Instance (Cloud)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, Teramind may add additional servers to your Cloud instance for better performance and load balancing. However, previously the My Account<\/strong> > Server & Port <\/strong>tab would only show the primary server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have made changes so that it will now show all the attached servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Get<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\nUse Case:<\/b> In addition to giving you more details of your instance, the information will help you configure firewalls\/antiviruses properly.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

System Settings & Configurations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Configure the Daily Digest Email According to Your Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can now configure what sections will be displayed on the Daily Digest\/Snapshot email from the Settings<\/strong> > Daily Digest Alerts<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Configure<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\nUse Case:<\/b> This will help you configure the daily digest email according to your needs and only share relevant information with the recipients of the email.\n<\/div>
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
