New Features in v6.x.x
-
New User Interface: We redesigned the interface for a better user experience.
This look is modern, with a new dashboard and a design that reduces customer interactions, allowing a faster incident response.
-
New Host Insight: Host Insight is a new feature that gives you a quick overview of the security posture of managed clients by assessing them using compliance and security checks.
-
BitDefender Integration: Bitdefender prevents and detects malware infections. This new feature allows ACSIA to deploy Bitdefender on hosts automatically and orchestrate detection.
Customers using BitDefender can integrate it into ACSIA. It requires the product to be uninstalled, then reinstalled before activating the antivirus again.
- Systemd: We introduced this service to enable ACSIA to restart after a reboot automatically.
- Activation Code: We introduced during the first login a banner where you can insert the License Code and finalize the access.
-
Role-based access control: We introduced an improved role-based access control in the UI. Users that are not enabled as administrators will have limited access to many functions and mostly access in read-only mode.
- Live Notification information: In the Live Notification page we added two extra information on an incident, when an event is expanded you will be able to see the tool and the web resource key.
- Enabled table sorting for all tables in the UI: user can sort data by clicking on column header.
-
All table filters have been refactored:
- added button “Clear Filters” to quickly reset all filters;
- improved filter behavior when clearing an input field;
- in Live Notifications enabled multi-selection for severity and type of event; user can filter data by multiple values (i.e. “High” and “Critical” severities at the same time).
- All Policies tabs search field reworked and improved to a full text search
- For each table, page size (number of elements shown for each page) is now automatically stored in user preferences.
- In Color Preference, in addition to “light” and “dark” themes, users can choose for ACSIA to follow and respond to system theme changes.
- In User Profile added toggle “Experimental mode”: user can enable a preview for experimental UI features.
- When “Experimental Mode” is active, the user can pick their favorite accent color for the UI.
-
Bitdefender can now be installed even on already deployed hosts.
-
in "audit logs", under "Action type", we can see if an agent is “stopped/started”, “activated/deactivated”.
- in "Settings/User Settings" now the switch "Experimental mode" enables single switches for each feature "in preview" that is available. So we have developed a global toggle to access new features but you can also turn on and off different ones. It's also saved in User preferences.
- we've Integrate Zimbra mail bruteforce detection
Enhancements
-
Sysmon: Updated to the new version that blocks portable executables files (PE) from being written on the disk. This feature's disabled by default and must be enabled by the users under the settings page:

-
The general font size of all tables is now 2 points bigger. Also the colors of text and background have more contrast
-
A new alert message component has been developed. The new component brings a more consistent way to manage error messages and more flexibility about style and persistent duration
- the "settings page" now has two different tabs: "System settings" and "User Settings". In "user settings" we can manage the "Experimental mode" with its related features and the "interface preferences". On "System settings" we can manage the settings related to the system
