Release Notes

Gain a Holistic View of Network Cyber Resilience

Our new Platform Home Page provides a comprehensive view of cyber resilience, allowing users to quickly evaluate their network’s adherence to best practices and security policies, thereby ensuring the network remains resilient against threats.

Easily Manage Devices Across Diverse Modern Networks

BackBox offers lifecycle state management for network devices, allowing teams to effectively onboard, promote, and manage them. The lifecycle states — Staging, Active, Maintenance, Ignored, and Orphaned — are available in device metadata, supporting automation and compliance checks. This ensures efficient tracking and management of devices for security, compliance, and operational integrity.

Achieve Visibility and Compliance for Cisco Meraki Devices

Ensuring compliance before deploying cloud-managed/SASE devices is tough. Non-compliant configurations can create security risks and operational issues. BackBox automates the import of Meraki devices into a staging environment, validating compliance, detecting orphaned devices, and identifying vulnerabilities while offering workaround or mitigation guidance on configurations.

Identify Which CVEs Have Available Workarounds

Reduce your attack surface by implementing a workaround without requiring patches or upgrades, which allows network operations to continue. We’ve enhanced our vulnerability intelligence capabilities, enabling users to identify which CVEs have available workarounds to address vulnerabilities through configuration changes, saving valuable time compared to full device upgrades.

Experience Seamless Integration with Cisco Meraki on the Cisco Networking App Marketplace

Discover how BackBox brings complete visibility and compliance across your modern network, with effortless integration through our partnership with Cisco.

Easily Track Configuration and Inventory Changes

Tracking network device configuration and inventory changes for compliance, such as DORA, can be challenging. The latest release allows users to generate and compare reports between two dates, offering filtered options to monitor changes, ensure compliance, and streamline audits.

Quickly Verify Device Compliance

Network teams often lack visibility into device-level compliance, resulting in security gaps and audit failures. BackBox now provides a Compliance Status for each network device, indicating whether it is Unchecked, Pass, or Fail based on compliance standards to find and fix non-compliant devices before they become security vulnerabilities.

Hardening Agent to Server Communication

With the deployment of BackBox servers and agents, users can now choose the direction of agent communication. Agents can securely initiate communication with the management server to check for new messages and tasks. This eliminates the need for inbound HTTP connections, enhancing security and simplifying network configuration.

Understand Event Patterns Before Deployment

As network environments grow more complex, gaining visibility is crucial for decision-making. Our enhanced event driven automation now includes the Event Viewer, allowing users to search, filter and review event messages received from source devices. Understanding event patterns before deployment ensures accurate and predictable automation behavior.
