TLS1.3 support

TLS 1.3 support is newly introduced in this release.

IPS now supports TLS version 1.3 with the additional cipher suites:

  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256

  • Limitation:

    • End-user certificate authentication feature (Smart Card) is unavailable when Accept only TLS 1.3 is enabled in System > Configuration > Inbound Settings for protocol version.

    • If you choose Accept only TLS 1.2 and later with custom ciphers, then you need to ensure one or more TLS 1.2 ciphers are included, see TLS 1.3 Support.htm

    Host checker Policy:  Host checker policies-based Predefined OS check the operating systems and their respective service packs/ version.

    • IPv6 Support: In this release IPv6 is supported for fresh deployment of IPS on Hyper-v, VMware, and KVM.

    • MDM Auth Server: New option is added with interface selection for MDM connections to enable outgoing interface, see configuring_with_mdm_servers.htm

    • Integrity Check: Booting Options on Integrity Check Failure is newly introduced to check integrity check failures during boot up (Disabled by default). Options are added to Reboot, rollback or continue booting if integrity check fails.

    • Use Low-Privilege Account instead of Root (NRP): Web server related processes are executed as non-root user. This prevents malicious code for gaining permissions in the IPS host. This feature is enabled by default.

    • Running Third-Party Tools in Jail: The IPS applications will run third party tools in a controlled environment where the contained process is not allowed to utilize resources outside of the container such as files, memory space devices, etc. This feature is enabled by default.

  • You can now set the Minimum Version check in Host checker for the Custom Command rule for Mac OS. For more information, see Configuring Custom Command Rule.

  • NMAP scan subnet increased to 1000 enabling faster scan capability for MAC OS. For more information, see Subnets Configuration

  • Dynamic Disk Size Allocation: IPS fresh deployment includes 80GB disk size (Default). Admin can modify/increase the disk from 40GB to 80GB on upgrade from prior version, see deployment Guides Azure, AWS, KVM, Hyper-V, VM.

•Pulse One enablement on IPS 22.4R1 or above. This feature is not enabled by default and has to be enabled through CLI.

•IPS is qualified on Azure cloud and Hyper-V platforms.

•IPv6 support for Host Checker, Download ESAP, Signature files.

•IPv6 support for Log Archiving

•Allow Host checker policy on certificate expiry: This feature allows the administrators to pass host checker policies on endpoints after the user certificate expiry. The Administrator can assign endpoints to have remediation roles, so that users can renew certificate.

•Log Enhancements: This feature allows the admin to enter a custom message to display on the client highlight the host checker compliance errors.

•Report scheduling enhancements: This feature supports scheduling multiple reports of the same type. Allows scheduling report notification on a customized time of a day/month/week.

•Compliance report enhancements: The dashboard displays the chart for the compliant and non-compliant devices. The compliance report is enhanced to display the compliant devices.

•ISA6000

•ISA8000

•It can also be deployed to the data center or cloud as virtual appliances.

•ISA4000-V

•ISA6000-V

•ISA8000-V
