DCX Edge Sensor - Release 1.1.30

Release Notes for DCX Edge Sensor

Version 1.1.30

• Added Health Checks
  Implemented health checks to continuously monitor the status of services, ensuring they are running optimally and detecting issues proactively.

• Integrated Passive Scanning
  We use passive scanning techniques to monitor active conversations between devices within network, enabling us to discover a higher percentage of assets. This approach also helps to pinpoint and surface hidden connections that may exist in rogue networks, all in real-time..

• Active Scanning Capabilities
  We perform active scanning to proactively detect devices that may not have been initially discovered but are active within the network. This dual approach ensures we first capture what is actively transmitting on the network and then we scan everything else, providing the most complete picture possible.

• Multithreaded Scanning Processes
  Enhanced scanning efficiency by enabling multithreading, allowing for faster completion of scans and better resource utilization.

• Resolved Disk Consumption Issues
  Fixed bugs related to excessive disk usage, optimizing storage consumption and preventing potential outages due disk space constraints.

• Resource Usage Monitoring
  Added the ability to monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage, providing insights into system performance and aiding in capacity planning.

• Implemented MQTT and HTTP Messaging
  Integrated MQTT and HTTP messaging protocols for edge-cloud-edge communication, improving messaging reliability and flexibility.

• Advanced Monitoring Features
  Upgraded monitoring tools to provide more detailed analytics and reporting on system health and security events.

• Fixed Messaging Bugs
  Resolved issues causing message delivery failures to ensure reliable communication between system components.

• Improved Provisioning Logging
  Modified logging during provisioning to include more detailed information, assisting in troubleshooting and audit trails.

• CI/CD Pipelines for Base and Main Images
  Established continuous integration and deployment pipelines for both base and main Docker images, streamlining development and deployment processes.

• Device State Management
  Implemented device state tracking to monitor the status and health of deployed containers within the network, enhancing management capabilities.

DCX Edge Sensor - Release 1.1.29

  Added functionality to handle multiple VLAN configurations, allowing for better network segmentation and enhanced security across different network zones.

• Multiple Network Interfaces Support
  The container now supports multiple network interfaces, enabling simultaneous monitoring and interaction with various network segments for comprehensive security coverage and mesh configuration.

• Included Service Binaries
  Compiled binaries for essential services are now included directly within the container image, ensuring consistent deployment and allowing for secure execution of tasks.

• Encrypted Tokens for Enhanced Security
  Implemented encryption for tokens used within the system to bolster security during authentication and inter-service communications.

• Rebuilt Attack Detection Module
  The attack detection module has been completely overhauled to improve accuracy and efficiency in identifying attacks using advanced algorithms.

• Improved Attack Detection Algorithms
  Fine-tuned attack detection algorithms to reduce false positives and enhance recognition capabilities.

• Enhanced Restoration Processes on Victim Systems
  Improved the restoration procedures on affected systems to minimize downtime and accelerate recovery after a security incident.

• Compiled Services for Increased Security
  Services have been compiled to prevent tampering and unauthorized modifications, enhancing the overall security posture of the tool.

• Binaries hosted in the Cloud
  Container image ships with a set of services to start with and then it checks for newer versions and updates hosted in the cloud. This allows to in-place update the services running.
