What's new in 2016 Release 5?

Cloud Web Protection Solutions | 2016 Release 5 | 17-Nov-2016

Increased efficiency for scheduled report jobs

In order to increase resiliency for accounts that have many or very large scheduled report jobs, changes have been made to:

Increase the job timeout period to allow jobs that take more than 15 minutes to complete

Distribute the start time when multiple jobs are scheduled

Increase the frequency with which the scheduler runs to every 5 minutes

Cloud Connection Speed Test enhancement

When an administrator runs the Cloud Connection Speed Test, the results now show the IP address in addition to the name of the data center used for the test.

Internal IP address test for network devices

The Filtering Test option on the Web > Policies page in the cloud portal has been enhanced. When administrators select an edge device or appliance as the egress point, they now have the option to specify also an internal IP address, to validate how requests from that address are managed.

Proxy bypass for firewall redirect and IPsec tunneling deployments

Proxy bypass is now supported for those who use firewall redirect or IPsec tunneling to direct traffic to the cloud service. This applies to both policy-level and account-level bypass definitions, which may be IP addresses, subnets, or domains.

The cloud service allows traffic to these sites without authentication or decryption. The traffic is, however, logged, and does appear in reports.


	Note In IPsec deployments, proxy bypass does not work correctly if the request is redirected from HTTP to HTTPS.

Enhanced device management interface available

Administrators now have the option of using either of 2 interfaces for managing i-Series appliances and edge devices: the original Network Devices page or the new Device Management page. Switch between the interfaces easily:

Click Check out the new Device Management page near the top of the old page to switch to the new interface.

Click Revert Interface at the bottom of the new page to return to the original interface.

A separate document provides more information about the new interface.
