New Features and Functionality v9.2
● DDP Enterprise Server - VE now supports Advanced Threat Prevention. Advanced Threat Prevention provides real-time
threat detection by analyzing potential file executions for malware in both the operating system and memory layers to
prevent the delivery of malicious payloads. Control of execution at the endpoint allows for accurate and effective detection
of malicious threats - even those that have never been seen before. Advanced Threat Prevention uses machine learning
techniques that allow detection of new malware, viruses, bots and unknown future variants, where signatures and sandboxes
fail. Memory protection strengthens basic operating system protection features by providing an additional layer to detect
and deny certain behaviors that are commonly used by exploits.
● The Remote Management Console has a new look and feel, with a responsive HTML 5 design that can be viewed on virtually
any screen size. It no longer requires installation and is now accessed at this URL:
https://server.domain.com:8443/webui/
● The Remote Management Console now offers the following new features and capabilities:
○ Email alert notifications can be set for Threat Protection and Advanced Threat Prevention events.
○ When data is recovered on a computer with more than one self-encrypting drive, each drive can be individually selected
for recovery.
● Amended 07/2016 - The Console Web Service component is no longer used as of v9.2, with the removal of the Silverlight
Console.
