● Added 02/2018- Upgrades to Dell Security Management Server Virtual to 9.9.2 are now blocked for server versions prior to

● Security Management Server Virtual now supports the Data Guardian web client. Based on policy, internal and external users

machine that hosts the web client and communicates with the Dell Server.
● An administrator can revoke Data Guardian keys for individual files shared with an external user, on either the External User
Management page or the Audit Events page, and can now blacklist an external user from the Audit Events page.

The watermark identifies the user and is displayed when the document is printed or shared.

their agents report their plugins' status as Functional. Plugin Status is displayed on the Providers tab of the Endpoint Details
& Actions page.

Management > Services Management in both connected and disconnected mode.
