Smoothwall have announced that the IN06 update will be released soon to all SWG, UTM and WAM customers with current software maintenance. This update brings brand new Application Bandwidth Reporting, an overhaul of Portal-Based Reporting, Secure Global Proxy, and a new version of Smoothwall Connect, the remote filtering client for Windows devices.
Following the disclosure of the vulnerability in Bash (CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169), Smoothwall will be rolling out a priority update over the next 2 weeks to address the issue.
Univention has promptly released patches for all “current” releases of UCS: 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and 2.4.
“Shellshock” is a serious security vulnerability in the bash shell that is found in almost every UNIX and UNIX like system including Linux, Mac OS X and BSD.
Smoothwall’s new Bandwidth Reporting suite will allow you to see exactly where your bandwidth is going.
Smoothwall have been doing some reorganising of report templates over the last couple of months. Smoothwall have over 300 templates in the system, but research has shown that most customers only use a small number of these — and sometimes struggle to navigate through the system to find them!
Univention are now offering a two-factor authentication solution, called LSE LinOTP from LSE Leading Security Experts, which is available via the Univention App Center.
What is happening? The continued development of the Secure Web Gateway (SWG) product will mean that from the end of March 2013 it will no longer be possible to support customers using the Guardian 2 system. On this basis Smoothwall are undertaking a planned End-of-Life (EOL) project for Guardian 2 users.
Smoothwall has rolled out some major enhancements in the last months.
