New Features and Functionality v9.4.1.6
● Dell Enterprise Server now supports Advanced Threat Prevention on Mac computers. Advanced Threat Prevention provides
real-time threat detection by analyzing potential file executions for malware in both the operating system and memory layers
to prevent the delivery of malicious payloads. Control of execution at the endpoint allows for accurate and effective
detection of malicious threats - even those that have never been seen before. Advanced Threat Prevention uses machine
learning techniques that allow detection of new malware, viruses, bots and unknown future variants, where signatures and
sandboxes fail. Memory protection strengthens basic operating system protection features by providing an additional layer to
detect and deny certain behaviors that are commonly used by exploits.
New Features and Functionality v9.4.1
● A new Advanced Threat Prevention Agent Auto Update feature is available and can be enabled from Services Management
in the left pane of the Remote Management Console. Enabling Agent Auto Update allows clients to automatically download
and apply updates from the Advanced Threat Prevention server. Updates are released monthly.
● New Advanced Threat Prevention policies allow the administrator to configure automatic handling upon detection of a
malicious payload and extended Script Control settings for Active Scripts, PowerShell, and Office macros.
● The Advanced Threat Events Report can now be exported as an Excel or .csv file from the Advanced Threat Events tab in
the Remote Management Console.
● A new policy allows the administrator to hide encryption icons in File Explorer for managed users.
