^ Thanks for asking this question. I was going to hold off asking until I got our infrastructure updated to 7.2.5.22 just to see if something was different, but kinda figured there would be no change. A release date would be nice. For now we are just installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but that is not a long term solution.
Looks like there are a few delays on the business side so keep an eye out for release next week. Don’t worry, I think you’ll find the new features are worth the wait.
Brian: Yes, there are some new features as well. Particularly on the endpoint UI side. A full announcement with the new feature set will go out next week.
Oops - you are right. Not sure what I was thinking. I must of been thinking there was a major revision necessary for it to be Windows 7 compliant. My bad. Can’t wait for the update!
We released 1.6 earlier this afternoon. Hopefully you saw the BES admin announcement and the new content in your consoel. I’ll post the official bit below in a second.
Also, I’ve been told I’m wrong about the code base version (I know, impossible, right?). CPM versions thru 1.6 are all based on OfficeScan 8. Sorry about that!
We are pleased to announce the general availability of BigFix Core Protection Module (powered by Trend Micro) version 1.6. This update includes several bug fixes as well as the following feature enhancements:
· Additional Platform Support. CPM 1.6 provides support for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 in addition to all previously supported platforms.
· New Client UI. The new CPM client UI provides a higher degree of interaction, flexibility and control for the end user. This UI enables users to specify files and directories for scanning and can be configured to provide notifications to end users when malware is detected. Additionally users will continue to be able to update pattern files on demand.
· System Tray Icon. This feature provides users with access to the client UI.
The latest site versions are as follows:
Trend Micro Common Firewall
Site Version: 4
Trend Micro Core Protection Module
Site Version: 8
Trend Micro Reporting
Site Version: 7
If you are not a current CPM customer and would like to evaluate the updated content, please contact your sales representative for additional information.
Have begun deploying. Have several dozen going on 1.6 now. No issues with upgrade or obtaining new patterns. New User Console works well also (very excited about this new option).
