Technical Advisories v9.9
● Added 02/2018- Upgrades to Dell Security Management Server 9.9.2 are now blocked for server versions prior to Dell Data
Protection | Encryption Enterprise Server version 9.2. [DDPS-6254]
● During installation or upgrade of the Security Management Server, an active script is run in the %TEMP% directory, which
may be blocked by antivirus. To work around this, Dell recommends disabling all antivirus solutions before installing or
upgrading the Security Management Server. [DDPS-5832]
● When setting a Firewall Rule and defining an executable within that rule, the MD5 checksum value does not validate the
syntax. Ensure that the MD5 entry is properly set before finalizing the addition of an executable. [DDPS-5858]
New Features and Functionality v9.8
● Security Management Server now supports the Data Guardian web client. Based on policy, internal and external users can
view and edit protected Office documents and .xen files, with Print Control, Block Copy, and Embargo features, without
installing the full Data Guardian client on their computers. The administrator runs a quick installation to set up a virtual
machine that hosts the web client and communicates with the Dell Server.
● An administrator can revoke Data Guardian keys for individual files shared with an external user, on either the External User
Management page or the Audit Events page, and can now blacklist an external user from the Audit Events page.
● Policy allows Data Guardian Windows and Mobile to apply an onscreen watermark to protected Office documents and PDFs.
The watermark identifies the user and is displayed when the document is printed or shared.
● Advanced Threat Prevention and Data Guardian endpoints now show to have Protected status on the Endpoints page when
their agents report their plugins' status as Functional. Plugin Status is displayed on the Providers tab of the Endpoint Details
& Actions page.
● Advanced Threat Prevention audit events can now be exported to a SIEM/syslog server and to a local file from
Management > Services Management in both connected and disconnected mode.
