An Agent Health Dashboard has been introduced, displaying common agent issues, from which you can drill down into lists of agent endpoints with the same problem. From here, you will be able to select an endpoint and choose to ‘check-in’ or ‘update binaries’ directly from the user interface, to help resolve specific issues.
Learn more about Agent Health Dashboard.

New fields have been added to the following datasets to support enhanced filtering and analysis:

• Devices DEX Score: Device model, device type, OS short name, and location

• People DEX Score: City, country, department, job title, and office

• Devices: Last software scan timestamp, OS end of feature support date, and OS end of service date

All capabilities in Agent Policy that have an associated configuration, such as Patch Management and Application Distribution, are now sorted alphabetically and have a filter option to search for the exact configuration you require. This simplifies administration and provides faster time to value.

External Authentication (SSO) method for OneLogin Authentication (SAML) and OneLogin Authentication (OIDC) are now supported with this release.

Learn more about External Authentication (SSO).

Currently, the Ivanti Connector requires the Jamf option Allow Basic authentication in addition to Bearer Token authentication to be enabled.

However, Jamf has deprecated this feature. Replace it with a new API Role using Client Secret and access tokens. Update the connector to use this new API authentication method.

Device threshold: To limit the amount of data that is gathered for Neurons, it is set by default to 90 days, with a maximum threshold of 90 days. The connector will only import devices that have checked in or changed during that time.

Learn more about Tenable connector.

In addition to being able to access files and applications, Ivanti Neurons for App Control can now also be used to allow or deny access to specific network locations. These can be specified by IP address, network share, or host name. These rules can be targeted to specific users, groups, devices, and IP addresses.

Learn more about Network Access Control in Allow/Deny Rule.

Administrators can now create rules to redirect users away from specified URLs, forwarding requests to an alternate web address instead.

As with all rules, the most permissive wins, so it is possible to create a deny rule for www.generalnews.com but an allow rule for www.generalnews.com/weather so that end users can only look up the weather forecast rather than perusing the entire domain.

Learn more about URL Redirection in Allow/Deny Rule.

The system-defined templates can be copied but not directly edited.

Learn more about App Templates.

• The Overview page of App Control can now have the charts filtered by a specific configuration. This means that administrators can easily identify items of concern or trends associated with the specific devices a configuration is targeted to.

• Additionally, it is now possible to clone a configuration in order to make small changes and publish it alongside the original version to a different set of devices.

  Learn more about cloning a configuration in App Control Configurations.

• There are new custom settings available for configurations. These are largely used for troubleshooting.

  Contact Ivanti Technical Support for guidance.

An indicator is added to show if the device is online or offline when selecting a device with the targeting capability.

A new permission View Registry is available. If this permission is unchecked for a configured role, then members of this role won't be able to execute the registry sensors in Edge Intelligence.

Ivanti Neurons for EASM also now lets you view all your technologies (third-party software, libraries and more) in one place with the new Technology page.

It is now possible to multi-select contiguous stages and run against a test user or device. This is useful when verifying the function of branches depending on the difficulty to reproduce conditions (For example: a specific event ID) or to model error handling logic / different permutations of filters.

Usage guidance is available in the stage inspector (right-hand panel in the bot editor) when no stages are selected.

Hold the shift-key and draw a box around the stages you would like to run to invoke the test panel which prompts for any required information as well as user/device targeting.

Learn more about stages in Neurons Bots editor.

It is useful when building a bot to administratively disable/enable connecting links.

For example, using a bot with remediation capabilities in information-only mode for a period of time to test upstream logic and model ‘what if’ behavior prior to enabling remediation. This also helps Ivanti streamline the creation of new bot templates without needing to create separate examples for reporting vs remediation use cases.

Learn more about enable/disable links in Neurons Bots editor.

If a bot is run against a large number of devices or users in error, or there are emerging problems with a running bot it may be desired to stop the current bot from progressing beyond the currently processing stage(s).

A new capability is introduced on the trigger history page where any bots in a pending state will have a cancel button available. This will also extend to the trigger history table on the bot to target any pending stages across any versions of that bot.

Learn more about Canceling a running bot in Trigger History and Neurons Bots Results.

Introducing a new Advanced Schedule Setting option on the Bots Scheduler to offer more precision over when a bot is executed. It supports scenarios such as weekdays/weekends and also offers the ability for longer interval bots for monthly and beyond cadence.

Learn more about Advanced Scheduler Settings in Neurons Bots editor and Neurons Bots homepage.

For any stage or bot input that returns multiple results (list), it is possible to render these as dynamic buttons on a Teams interaction.

For example, Which Wifi network do you normally connect to? Which drive letter would you like to perform a cleanup o?, and so on.

Learn more about interaction buttons in MS Teams Stages.

It is now possible to choose the fields that you want to update in an update ticket scenario.

For example: The description/summary can be preserved while changing state and updating the journal.

Immediate start of an application for time-sensitive application deployments.

Key enhancements are introduced to streamline time-sensitive application deployments and improve compliance remediation efficiency.

Immediate Deployment Capabilities:

• Added the option to Run Now on Distributions for the immediate start of an application deployment on all targeted devices, especially for urgent scenarios.

• Alternatively, use Run Now specifically for non-compliant devices to quickly address compliance issues.

These new actions are available directly within the Distribution schedule screen, providing flexibility, and control over deployment timing to ensure your devices are always up to date when it matters most.

These updates focus on reducing deployment delays and enhancing responsiveness for critical rollouts.
