We’re happy to announce that Avast Business Hub 8.36 has been released! (January 12, 2022).
This release brings support for future Avast Business products and enhancements to Firewall settings.
New Feature(s) & Enhancements
• Added support for upcoming Avast Business product SKUs.
• Firewall System Rules have been expanded to allow the user to configure each rule separately for private and public networks, allowing them more control over the behavior of the Firewall.
o For enhanced Firewall the Windows AV client 21.11 is required, with new tabs available in the local client UI: Networks, Apps, Logs, and Advanced. For more details, see recent posts on Avast Business Forum.
• Added “Advanced” options for Firewall policy (in “Advanced” tab) where we have implemented some advanced features to the new Firewall:
o Leak Protection - increases your security on public networks by preventing your PC from leaking potentially sensitive information to the network, including your login credentials, computer name, and email address.
o Port Scan Alerts - warns the user if hackers/malware attempts to scan the device for open ports while on public networks.
o ARP Spoofing Alerts - warns the user about attempted ARP spoofing attacks in public networks.
• Device alias replaces device name in Alerts.
• List of sites is sorted properly during the policy creation when the policy is created from an existing site.
• Improved reliability of the device online status.
Resolved issues
• Fixed an issue with email notifications not opening the device detail page correctly.
• Fixed an issue with getting an error when dismissing some alert types.
• Fixed an issue with scheduled reports not being generated.
• Fixed an issue with device and service statuses showing the device vulnerable/in danger without any active alerts.
• Fixed an issue with inability to execute a Backup Now task when selecting multiple devices across various customers/sites.
