2020 release notes

December

Date Type Release notes
Dec. 18 Enhancement Updated the License Agreement link on the Trend Micro Cloud One Sign Up page to display the appropriate agreement for the user's selected country.
Dec. 18 Resolved issue In some cases, Workload Security was unable to find the correct database info to identify AWS instances.
Dec. 18 Resolved issue The "AWS Contract License Exceeded" alert sometimes occurred even though the number of protected computers did not exceed the limit.
Dec. 18 Resolved issue Due to a connectivity issue, the Trend Micro Cloud One signup form reCAPTCHA was sometimes failing, and some customers were not receiving the intended automated email following account signup.
Dec. 11 Action Required The SNS "EventID" field will be deprecated and replaced with a new "UniqueID" field. To minimize the impact, we will continue to send the "EventID" field, but after January 18th, 2021 the value will always be set to 0. Please use the "UniqueID" field as the unique identifier for SNS events.
Dec. 10 Information

Starting December 10 2020, customers subscribed to the Trend Micro Cloud One listing on AWS will see usage for Workload Security consolidated to 4 billing dimensions, instead of the previous 8. There is no change in price to your services and no change to how your usage is calculated and charged.

Usage prior to this change will still be charged on the previous dimensions, so you may see a combination of the previous and updated dimensions in this month's bill.

Dec. 10 Resolved Issue vCenter performance issues were sometimes caused by an unstable connection to the database, resulting in unexpected "VMware vCenter Synchronization Requested Finished" events in Events & Reports > System Events.
Dec. 08 New feature

You can now add your VMWare vCenter accounts to Workload Security. Adding a vCenter account to Workload Security allows Workload Security to retrieve your virtual machine inventory from the vCenter server. This provides visibility to all workloads from vCenter as well as automated management of the lifecycle of these workloads (which is consistent with adding accounts from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Accounts to Workload Security).

For customers that are familiar with Workload Security, the addition of this support provides a consistent experience with the features and functionality that you are already familiar with.

Adding a vCenter account to Workload Security requires a new component called the data center gateway. For more information, see setup a data center gateway.

Dec. 04 Information The newsfeed feature has been removed from the Workload Security console. For the latest news on product changes, see "What's new in Workload Security?". You can also subscribe to the RSS feed (linked at the top of the page) for updates.
Dec. 04 Enhancement Added a "URLs and IP Addresses" section under Support which links to additional information regarding Workload Security connectivity.
Dec. 04 Resolved issues When you created a new user, the language of the console switched to whatever language the user was set to.

November

Date Type Release notes
Nov. 25 Resolved issue When the agent was using agent-initiated communication, the agent went offline when the agent certificate was updated.
Nov. 02 Information Starting on 2020-11-23, all new Workload Security accounts that require a traffic policy to be applied to egress traffic originating from agent connections to Workload Security must use DNS names, rather than IP addresses. This change is driven by the continued evolution of our service to meet the needs of our customers. For all existing customers, we recognize reasonable lead time is required to coordinate this type of change with your internal teams. To minimize the impact to existing customers we will continue to honour static IP addresses for two years (end of life on 2022-12-31) for any Deep Security as a Service or Workload Security account created prior to 2020-11-23.

For more information about which DNS names to allow, see Port numbers, URLs, and IP addresses

October

Date Type Release notes
Oct. 23 Resolved issue The settings on Policies > Settings > Advanced could not be changed because the Inherited option could not be deselected.
Oct. 14 Information Starting October 14th, 2020, customers subscribed to the Trend Micro Cloud One listing on AWS Marketplace will see usage displayed and metered in "units" instead of "host / hour". There is no change in price to your services and no change to how your usage is calculated and charged.

Usage prior to this change will still appear as "host / hour" so you may see a combination of "host / hour" and "units" in this month's line items.

Oct. 14 Scheduled maintenance System maintenance for Workload Security is scheduled for Saturday October 24th, 2020 between 11:00 and 19:00 GMT. For details, see Trend Micro Cloud One Maintenance.

To generate the report, go to Events & Reports > Generate Reports > Single Report > New > Agent Version Report.
Aug. 06 Enhancement Updated the "My User Summary" widget on the console and the "User and Contact Report" (Events & Reports > Generate Reports > Single Report) to reflect the logins that have occurred in the last 30 days.
Aug. 05 Resolved issue The Workload Security session cookie is no longer passed from AWS to Workload Security when you sign up, which meant that if you were already signed in to Workload Security, you were unable to upgrade to a paid account through the AWS Marketplace. If you have already signed in to Workload Security, you're once again able to upgrade your account from "Free-Trial" to "Paid through AWS Marketplace".

July

Mar. 05 Enhancement In the past, if your credentials were entered incorrectly for AWS accounts in Workload Security, the agent failed to activate. This might have occurred because the credentials were entered incorrectly or because, over time, the credentials changed without a corresponding update in Workload Security. To help ensure protection remains in place in this situation, which in many cases is a simple configuration error, we will now create the computer outside of the account and allow the agent to activate.
Mar. 05 Enhancement When Anti-Malware actions fail, the results will be displayed in the Syslog result field.
Mar. 03 Enhancement Optimized the time it takes to discover and map new GCP instances for known Google Projects inside existing GCP accounts. When an agent-initiated activation occurs, the time it takes to complete the activation and for the GCP data to be available to Workload Security has been reduced to make the product more responsive.

February

Date Type Release notes
Feb. 27 Enhancement To better align with AWS best practices and improve AWS account security, we have made a change to the process of adding a new AWS account into Workload Security using cross-account roles. Previously when using a cross-account role for authentication, Workload Security required two pieces of information: a role ARN, and an external ID trusted by the role. This has now changed to a new process where Workload Security provides the external ID, and requires that the role provided has included this external ID in its IAM trust policy. This change provides stronger security in shared Workload Security environments, and ensures that strong external IDs are always used. For details on switching your external ID to a manager-generated one, see Update the external ID. For details on the new process of adding cross-account roles using manager-generated external ID, see Add an AWS account using a cross-account role.
Feb. 27 Information Action required for customers using cross-account roles with the API /rest/cloudaccounts/aws. For details, see https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/000241973.

Feb. 21 Resolved issue The Workload Security console sometimes failed to generate a summary report on Events & Reports > Single Report.
Feb. 21 Resolved issue When adding a relay, the wrong icon for GCP computer groups appeared in the navigation pane on the left.
Feb. 11 Resolved issue When the "Untagged" filter was selected on the dashboard, some widgets continued to display tagged items.
Feb. 06 New feature

If you are using metered billing and looking for a way to break out costs by individual cloud accounts, we have made the Security Module Usage Report (Event & Reports > Generate Reports) available. This report contains a detailed breakout of consumption hours by cloud account. This data can be used to breakout the single Workload Security line item on your marketplace bill supporting chargeback to your teams.

Feb. 06 New feature

In a heartbeat, if the number of agent events is very high, they will be split under more than one "Events Retrieved" system event.

This feature is being gradually rolled out. For more information, see What does preview mean?

Mar. 07 Enhancement Updated the Deep Security Manager so it can distinguish whether or not a reboot is required after a Deep Security Agent upgrade. When the agent software requires an upgrade, you can view the number of computers that must be rebooted to complete the upgrade, and the number that do not. You can choose to proceed immediately with the respective upgrades, or schedule the upgrades for a more appropriate time. A list of computers and their precheck results can be saved in CSV format.
Mar. 07 Resolved issue If you have a large number of computer groups and policies and clicked Events & Reports > Generate Reports and then quickly switched to the "Recurring Reports" tab before the initial page was fully loaded, Deep Security Manager would display a spinner but the "Recurring Reports" tab was not populated unless the customer returned to the "Single Report" tab and allowed enough time for it to fully load. In this release, the Deep Security Manager console has been improved. Instead of presenting "Single Report" and "Recurring Reports" as tabs on the "Generate Reports" page, they are now separate items under "Generate Reports" in the navigation pane, which allows you to access them independently. The solution also makes the initial response of the "Single Report" page visible to the user much earlier and loads the necessary content on demand, significantly reducing latency.
Mar. 07 Resolved issue Deployment of the Deep Security Agent on Amazon Linux 2 WorkSpaces sometimes failed.
Mar. 07 Resolved issue The "Deep Security Protection Module Failure" error was not automatically dismissed after a successful upgrade.
