IT and Security Manager

ITSM Core

New Features

  • All new ITSM profiles. Optimized for security and usability, the new profiles also feature a new naming convention based around 3 levels of security:
    • ‘Windows - Security Level 1 Profile’ replaces ‘Optimum Windows Profile’.
      • New setting – HIPS is enabled with ‘Safe Mode’ + ‘Allow Request’ active. This means the profile will monitor critical operating system activities to protect endpoints against malicious actions.
      • Unless a particular profile is set in your portal, This will be the default profile in ITSM, just like ‘Optimum Windows Profile’ was previously.
    • ‘Windows - Security Level 2 Profile’ replaces ‘Hardened Windows Profile’
      • New setting. HIPS is enabled with ‘Safe Mode’ + ‘Block Request’ active.
      • New setting. Containment sections are enabled with ‘Log when this action is performed’ active.
    • ‘Windows - Security Level 3 Profile’ – New profile with the highest security settings. It is based on the level 2 profile the following additional security settings:
      • HIPS Settings – All interpreters are enabled under ‘Heuristic Command Line Analysis’ and ‘Embedded Code Detection’. This provides close monitoring of suspicious activities.
      • Antivirus Settings – ‘Use Cloud While Scanning’ is enabled by default in ‘Full Scan’. The cloud database is the most up-to-date version of the virus database, so antivirus scans are more accurate. It also means CCS is capable of detecting zero-day malware even if the local database is out-of-date.
    • “Windows - Security Level 1 Profile [Former Standard Profile]” replaces ‘Standard Windows’ Profile
      • The same protection level with Security Level 1 Profile for endpoints with Former Standard Profile

Settings and role permissions will be available in the next release. File transfer through Comodo Remote Control is coming in the fall releases.

Release Candidate of Comodo ONE - Release Notes July 2018_v5.pdf (276 KB)

Nice great work guys.

so the new profiles will need to be applied if we have cloned profiles.

@dittoit ,

You will need to clone new profiles or use it directly. We do not change custom (cloned) profile settings.

Hi team,

Thank you a lot for such great improvements.

>>File Explorer - beta. Browse folders and files on remote endpoints via ITSM.

Good option. Hopefully get the rest of options like: command shell, Full Feature file transfer(Bidirectional) and many others posted on forum.

>>Real-time data for performance metrics. Admins can now see real-time data for CPU, RAM, network and disk usage on a device. Click ‘Devices’ > ‘Device List’ > open a device > ‘Summary’ > ‘Perfomance Metrics’. Details are refreshed every 30 seconds.

Wow!, really need this one. Refresh time should be able to be customized.

>>Remotely remove applications from a device. Admins can now uninstall an application from software inventory of a specific device. (From Devices → Device List → Select a Specific Device → Software Inventory section.)

Thanks!!. Now I will be able to uninstall Windows/Mac software easily.

>>Application installation logs added to device details.

Really need this one.

>>External devices now scanned by default. External hard-drives, USB sticks, optical drives etc are now automatically scanned for potential threats.

Is there an option to not scan?.

Hi @axatech ,

This feature will be shipped as disabled by default in CCS. If you want to enable it, you can do it on ITSM profiles as of August release.

Does this release include client support for newer versions of Android or Ubuntu?

@neojames ,

As of the moment, The functionalities you mentioned above is not yet included for July’s release. Our product management team is still working on this request to prioritize it with the others received. We will provide you an email notification for any updates regarding this request and its timeline once it is finalized on the roadmap for delivery.

This is great but when are they going to add the logged in user on the exported CSV?

  • New fields added to exported csv files. Exported device lists now include OS version, CCC version, CCS version, external IPv4 address and internal IPv4 address.

Hello @safetynetit,

Adding the logged in user on the exported csv is a great suggestion! Your input is important to us as it will help to improve the usefulness of C1 for the entire users community. We have submitted your request to our product team where they will review it and determine where it will fit best on the product road-map. We have created a support ticket for you to keep you posted on this improvement request.

Hello @safetynetit,

Your suggestion for “Feature request: Ability to add the logged in user on the exported csv” currently shows on the road-map for implementation this 2018-Q4.

Thank you for your patience.

I’m confused, is this feature available from the July release or August ?

@nct July 14th

Hi @nct ,
The feature will be available in Comodo Client Security in July. However, the ability to configure it using ITSM Profiles will be provided in August.

Regards,

Can

Hello @dittoit,

Yes, release notes state the delay as well.

Nevertheless, not to cause any misunderstanding, I’m removing CCS from the notes.

Thanks for your post!

-Begüm

@Can Thanks, but does this mean it can only be configured locally in CCS until the August release?

Hey Comodo1 Team!

Do you have any updates on this? I’m new to the platform and want to mess around with everything I can as fast as I can.

Thanks!

Hello @thesystemadmin
The update to the C1 platform is already live. Feel free to sign up for a C1 account!

If you are based in Europe, sign up for one here.

If you prefer to have your account be hosted in the US, sign up here.

Logged into the new platform this morning… and having a look around…
Is it just me, or does the remote tool offer no way to upload a file to the remote machine?
This is 60% of the reason for connecting… to sent a tool or exe to the machine.
