New Features
- SAM now supports binary distribution - that is, supports /wiki/spaces/SAM/pages/89146192, also known as binary distribution. This feature provides the ability to centrally manage upgrades of agents from version 5v5.1.0 onwards. This reduces the amount of manual administration that is required in order to maintain Snare Agents for security compliance. This feature allows upgrades to a newer after the v5.1.0 agent version. The installed agent must be at least v5.1.0. See User Guide for prerequisites and instructions. Presently only the Snare Enterprise Agent for Windows is supported for binary distribution feature, Epilog, SQL and Unix agent dont have this feature at this time.
- SAM can now be configured to alert users know if there are problems with the SAM, by proactively sending emails to alert on error conditions like the following: -
- when licenses are about to expire
- send a critical alert if a feature license is expiring within 30 days and/or a warning alert if support expires within 90 days
- when agents can't license either from being oversubscribed from current license count or when agents cannot renew their license.
- The ability to export CSV of the Agent information in SAM, accessible from Agents | Export. Options to select columns for export, disable header rows are available.
- Implementation of User Guide and Knowledge Base links in the SAM sidebar.
- As of <INSERT DATE> the Snare Windows SAM agent has achieved Veracode VerAfied security compliance to VL4 status. The 5.1.0 version of the Snare Windows SAM now meets the Veracode VL4 certification policy criteria. By using Veracode independent source code static analysis methods there are no very high, high, or medium security rated vulnerabilities present based on OWASP top 10 and SANS top 25 coding vulnerabilities.
