What is your software update strategy?

Cyber Crucible software does not rely on continual streams of signature updates, trying to catch up to attackers.

Around once per month, new features, zero trust methodology enhancements, and behavioral analytic module enhancements are released.

All software releases by Cyber Crucible are also tested, approved, and certified by the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility Program after passing our own rigorous testing.

Upgrading requires a reboot before an update is in effect.

Manage Group Update Settings

Groups have auto-updating enabled by default and agents follow their group update settings by default. Group update settings can be seen on the Groups page:

The first column shows if the group has auto-update turned on or off. The second column shows what version is approved for updates for agents in this group that are not overriding their group update settings.

When groups have auto-update turned on, the approved agent version column will show the latest agent version released and is not editable.

When groups have auto-update turned off, the approved agent version column is editable by double clicking the cell and selecting which version you want to approve. There also is an option to turn updating off completely (the “Do Not Update” option). Note that agents will not downgrade versions.

Note that the group update settings are applied when installing an agent for deciding which version the agent should install with. If the group has auto-update turned off and “Do Not Update” selected, then the agent will default to installing with the latest available agent version.

Manage Agent Update Settings

Agents will follow their group’s update settings by default, but agents can be configured to override their group update settings to follow their own. The Agent update settings can be seen on the Agents page:

When an agent is overriding their group update settings, the auto-update and approved agent version columns are editable where users may configure the agent’s update settings to follow instead of following the group update settings.

When an agent is following their group update settings, the auto-update and approved agent version columns are not editable and will show the group update settings.
