Features

Enhancements and updates

December 16, 2021

• Updated the Log4j library to version 2.15.0 to mitigate security vulnerability CVE 2021-44228. 
• Performance and stability improvements. 
• Improvements to the Identity Management > Authentication screen in the Code42 console:
  • Added the option to assign organizations to an authentication provider directly from the Authentication tab. Previously, authentication providers could only be assigned by navigating to a specific organization and editing the organization's details. 
  • Added the option to set SAML attributes. Previously, SAML attributes could only be set via the Code42 API. 
• Updates to translations.  

December 15, 2021

• Released Code42 User Directory Sync version 1.6.3. For details, see the Code42 User Directory Sync release notes.  

December 13, 2021

To better align support article content with your Code42 product plan, the Code42 support site now contains separate sections for Incydr and CrashPlan. This change makes it easier for you to view only the information that applies to your Code42 environment. 

Many articles throughout the support site have changed URLs, but all old URLs automatically redirect to the new location. These automatic redirects ensure existing links continue to point to the correct article. 

Other changes include:

• The homepage now prompts you to choose your product before searching or browsing content.
• Code42 console and administration articles now have different versions for Incydr and CrashPlan.
• Code42 app articles now have different versions for Incydr and CrashPlan.
• Updates to search filters and the Who is this article for? section at the top of each article help you better identify which content applies to you.

December 10, 2021

• Alerts adds a new Salesforce download setting to the alert rule builder to alert you when reports are exported from your organization's Salesforce environment to a device that is not monitored by Incydr. These alerts help you respond quickly when vital business data is downloaded to an unmonitored personal device like a home laptop or mobile phone.
  During early access, detection of Salesforce report exports to unmonitored personal devices is not supported for Incydr Professional and Enterprise product plans. However, you can still view Salesforce download activity in Forensic Search.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue introduced with the Code42 cloud release on November 17th where the Code42 API resource AuthToken did not accept requests using basic authentication.
• Fixed a rare issue where attempting to manually refresh metadata for a federated identity provider (IdP) via the Code42 API could fail. (Metadata was still refreshed automatically every 8 hours.) 
• Fixed an issue where using py42 to restore files to a device did not generate restore events in the Audit Log under certain circumstances. 

Features

Enhancements and updates

November 29, 2021

• In Code42 Instructor, added two posters to educate employees about precautions to take when emailing sensitive data.

November 17, 2021

• Security updates.
• Added to the Code42 federal environment the ability to provision users with Azure AD. 
• Sending a PATCH request to update groups via the SCIM API now returns a 204 response by default, instead of 200.  
• Added event types to the Audit Log to record actions for:  
  • API clients  
    • API client created 
    • API client deleted 
    • API client description changed 
    • API client name changed 
    • API client permissions assigned
    • API client permissions revoked
    • API client secret reset

November 16, 2021

• Scoping is now available for the Microsoft Office 365 email service data connection. You can scope the connection to monitor all Office 365 user mailboxes, only the Office 365 mailboxes for specific users, or only the Office 365 mailboxes that are assigned to specific Microsoft 365 groups. To update scoping, deauthorize your existing connection and then add it again as a new connection.

  With this change, usage counts indicating the exact number of user mailboxes monitored by the Microsoft Office 365 email connection are now listed in the connection's details. If you want to view these counts, deauthorize and then resume monitoring your existing Microsoft Office 365 email connection.

November 10, 2021

• To help you better identify and investigate risky activity, new alert notification details are now organized by event types: Browser and app upload events, Cloud sharing events, Cloud sync events, and External device events. (Previously, details were divided only into cloud or endpoint events. Alert notifications generated prior to November 10, 2021 still use this older organization.)

  Because this organization improves your ability to investigate in Forensic Search, links in existing email alert notifications you've already received function slightly differently. Instead of leading directly to the events in Forensic Search, links in existing email notifications open the Review Alerts table, filtered to that notification. Open the alert notification details to access the updated options for investigating events in Forensic Search. Links in new email alert notifications generated after November 10, 2021 use the upgraded organization and lead directly to Forensic Search. 

November 3, 2021

• In Code42 Instructor, added two new informative letter templates that you can use to explain to your leadership and awareness teams what Code42 Instructor is and how you are using it to help protect your company's data. 

Bug fixes

October 26, 2021

• In Code42 Instructor, added two posters to educate employees about accidental iCloud syncing.

October 20, 2021

• To improve data consistency, Code42 API timestamps are now always returned in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Prior to this change, timestamps could be in UTC time or local time. If you use the date and time obtained from the Code42 API as a string value that ignores the ISO 8601 time zone, adjust your API scripts so that they include the time zone in the output. 
• Updates for Incydr Professional and Enterprise product plans:
  • Added a new Last check-in column to the Devices list to indicate the last time the device connected to the Code42 cloud.
  • Added a deployment policy configuration option to support proxy URL connections.

Previously, the reason was visible in the Forensic Search results interface, but not included in CSV export.

October 13, 2021

• Scoping is now available for the Gmail data connection. You can scope the connection to monitor all Gmail user accounts, only the Gmail accounts for specific users, or only the Gmail accounts that are included in specific groups.

September 2, 2021

• Alerts has replaced the "high/medium/low" severity in rules and alert notifications with the risk severity assigned to file events. Risk severity is assigned based on the risk score calculated for a file event, and better helps you identify risky activity throughout the Code42 console.

  Previously existing alert notifications display a "-" for the Risk severity in the Review Alerts table. New alert notifications display the risk severity calculated for that activity.

  For more information about risk settings and the risk prioritization model, see Risk Settings reference.

• Fixed an issue where some improperly formatted API requests could return error code 500 (internal server error) instead of 415 or 400 (invalid syntax error).
• In the Audit Log, fixed an issue where Name change events for SSO users were not attributed to the correct username under certain circumstances.

September 13, 2021

Known issues

September 15, 2021

• Due to a security update implemented by Google, links in Forensic Search to files shared in Google Drive may not lead to the target file as expected. New event activity generated after September 13, 2021 contains updated links that allow analysts to access those files.  

Features

Enhancements and updates

August 27, 2021

• In Forensic Search, the Source field is now labeled Event observer.
• In the Forensic Search event details, the Executable name and Process user fields moved to a new Process section. Previously, these fields were included in the Exposure and Event sections. This is a display layout change only. There is no change to the metadata collection process.
• In Alerts, the filename criteria used in the Salesforce report exfiltration recommended rule template is updated. The updated criteria now accounts for the default file names Salesforce suggests for both "Formatted" and "Details only" reports that users can generate.

August 18, 2021

• Security updates.
• All Code42 API documentation is now centrally located in the Code42 Developer Portal at https://developer.code42.com. API documentation at https://console.us.code42.com/apidocviewer and https://console.us.code42.com/swagger is no longer visible. 
• Devices using unsupported Windows 10 build 1803 and Ubuntu 16.04 will not upgrade to newer versions of the Code42 app.

August 16, 2021

• Added the following new destinations to the Risk Exposure dashboard and User Profiles to show when files are shared from your corporate cloud services or sent from your corporate email. These new destinations require you to configure Code42 to monitor your cloud and email data connections:
  • Box corporate data connector
  • Google Drive corporate data connector
  • OneDrive corporate data connector
  • Gmail corporate data connector
  • Microsoft Office 365 corporate data connector  

August 6, 2021

• To ensure the security and integrity of the Code42 cloud, Code42 implemented networking updates in our US2 cloud that changed the server address URL from www.crashplan.com to console.us2.crashplan.com, and changed the client address URL from central.crashplan.com to clients.us2.crashplan.com. The previous URLs automatically redirect to the new URLs, and all bookmarks, settings, and scripts that use the previous URLs continue to work without intervention on your part. However, we recommend that you change the old URLs to the new URLs in your Code42 environment to ensure uninterrupted service going forward. For more information, see Changes to US2 server URLs in August 2021.  

August 5, 2021

• Added quick filters to the All Users, Departing Employees, and High Risk Employees lists to help you more easily see file events for each level of severity.
• The User file activity details now show the risk indicators associated with the user's file activity.

August 3, 2021

• A new Departing risk indicator is now automatically applied to file activity for users on the Departing Employees list. Since departing employees are both a high risk user group and an urgent priority, incorporating their activity into the risk scoring model makes it easier to review the riskiest file activity in a timely manner.
• The Account menu in the Code42 console now lists your product plan and the cloud name for your Code42 environment (for example, US1). This account information makes it easier for you to identify which support articles apply to you, and also assists our Customer Champions if you need to contact us for support.

Bug fixes

August 18, 2021

• Fixed an issue with Code42 User Directory Sync (UDS) and Azure provisioning where entering a country code with lowercase characters could prevent changes to other fields from saving properly.
• In the Sync Log, fixed a very minor issue where unmapped role names did not display correctly (for example, "Desktop User" was displaying as "desktop-user").

June 7, 2021

• Fixed an issue where trusted domains were not properly applied to OneDrive events under specific circumstances.

Enhancements and updates

May 25, 2021

• Added support for a single SSO identity provider to be used in more than one Code42 environment. This enables large organizations and universities that use the same identity management infrastructure across multiple divisions or departments to maintain separate Code42 environments.
• The Code42 API Org resource and the organizations CSV export now return two new unique identifier fields: orgGuid and parentOrgGuid.

May 20, 2021

• In Forensic Search, the off hours risk indicator now applies to cloud and email file activity. Previously, off hours activity was only evaluated for endpoint events.
• Code42's Gmail data connection now collects the file classification metadata from Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) that's applied to attachments. This metadata, which appears in Forensic Search, can help provide additional risk context if you already use MIP in your organization.

In the recommended rules list, click View all recommendations for details about these new templates.
  

Bug fixes

May 25, 2021

• Performance and stability improvements.
• Fixed an issue where the descriptions in the Code42 console for two permissions were reversed: dataconnections.settings.read incorrectly listed edit capabilities and dataconnections.settings.write incorrectly listed read-only capabilities. This was only an issue with the description text. Users with the read permission could only view settings and were never able to add, edit, or remove data connection settings. Users with the write permission were always able to edit settings.
• When creating or updating a SCIM user, improves error messaging when using a full country name instead of the required 2 letter country code.
• Fixed an issue where creating a new user over an IPv6 connection could fail under certain circumstances.

Features

Enhancements and updates

April 28, 2021

April 20, 2021

• On the Risk Exposure dashboard, added indicators to the Top users by file activity to show when an employee is on a risk detection list such as the Departing Employees or High Risk Employees list.

April 16, 2021

• On the Risk Exposure dashboard and User Profile, AirDrop is now listed as a separate destination. Previously, AirDrop events were listed in the "Other" destination.

April 13, 2021

• The High Risk Employees list now allows you to filter the list by department, risk factors, and only employees on the list with file events. Previously, you could only filter on risk factors.

Bug fixes

April 28, 2021

• Fixed an issue in Alerts in which default rules created by the Departing Employees or High Risk Employees lists generated alerts when those lists did not contain any Code42 usernames. 

April 21, 2021

• Performance and stability improvements.
• Improvements to sync processes between the Code42 cloud and on-premises authority servers.
• Fixed an issue where exporting CSV reports for users and devices in very large Code42 environments could take a very long time to complete.

• Improved error messaging when minimum password requirements aren't met for new user registrations.

April 7, 2021

• Fixed an issue in OneDrive where usernames and exposure field values were duplicated in Forensic Search. Previously, when a file in OneDrive was shared with Sharepoint users, those users may have been listed in the Shared with users field using this convention: "sharedlinks.<ID>.flexible.<ID>." This value also resulted in duplicate "Outside Trusted Domains" entries for the File exposure changed to and Exposure type fields in Forensic Search.  

Features

Enhancements and updates

March 18, 2021

• Fixed a rare issue where password resets could fail if the new password contained certain combinations of special characters.
• Fixed an issue that only occurred in the Code42 federal environment on Windows devices backing up files with alternate data streams (ADS): restoring a previous version of a file now also correctly restores the associated ADS files.
• In Forensic Search, fixed an issue where the detailed reason was missing for why a SHA256 or MD5 hash value is unavailable.  

March 10, 2021

• In Forensic Search, fixed an issue where clicking anywhere in the file event details unexpectedly closed them. Now, event details only close upon clicking the "x" icon in the upper right. 

Features

Enhancements and updates

• In the Forensic Search API, some fileCategory output values have updated strings (for example, SOURCE_CODE changed to SourceCode). If you use customized scripts or integrations that expect a specific string value in the fileCategory response, you may need to update them to account for the new category names.

Bug fixes

February 17, 2021

• In Forensic Search, fixed a rare issue where a file could be unavailable for download if the capitalization of the filename or file path changed after the file was backed up.
• The confirmation dialog to deactivate a user now indicates that the backup archive will be placed into cold storage (according to the cold storage settings for the organization). Previously, the message implied the archive would be deleted immediately.
• On the Restore History screen, values in the Restore To column are no longer clickable links. This fixes an issue where clicking a value in that column caused an error.
• In the Forensic Search and Cases file event details, fixed an issue where the File exposure changed to field was temporarily labeled Sharing Type Added.  

Features

Enhancements and updates

January 26, 2021

• Adds the URL of files involved in activity on cloud services (when available) to the "File events" list in alert details and emails, giving you more context and information for investigations. 

January 25, 2021

  • Added event types to log when Code42 support user access is enabled and disabled.  

January 20, 2021

• The Code42 console now displays a message when updates to device settings are in progress. This information provides visibility to administrators to confirm updates are processing, which reduces the chance of inadvertently submitting duplicate changes. 
• For provisioning provider synchronization, increased the maximum deactivation delay to 90 days. Previously, the limit was 24 hours. 
• The Identity Management > Provisioning list view now includes a Type column to differentiate between SCIM providers and Code42 User Directory Sync. Previously, the provisioning type was only displayed in the provider's details.
• Security updates.

January 8, 2021

• Case details now display additional risk context to provide a more holistic view of the user being investigated. Details include:
  • If the user is on the High Risk Employees or Departing Employees lists.
  • Other risk factor attributes in the user's profile (for example, High impact employee or Flight risk). 
• Added a Code42 support user type to the Audit Log search filter. Employ this user type to search for events triggered by Code42 support users who are given support access to your Code42 environment.

January 13, 2021
