2019.10 Release Notes

The Managed Services Platform 2019.10 release introduces new flexibility and capability in the handling of reports, and improved consistency in the version 3 (v3) interface.

What’s New

These are the highlights of this release:

  • Enhancements to the flexibility of reports

    Customers who automate the process of generating reports from either their XML- or CSV-formatted files now have the ability to reproduce steps to generate vulnerabilities at the instance/scan level. This provides more granular information.

    An example of a customer taking advantage of the enhanced information would be using it to generate JIRA tickets.

    The enhanced information provides our customers with more value from their data, and improves their risk profile. In addition, we continue to refine the process of assuring consistency between PDF reports and reports in the XML and CSV formats.

  • Introduction of v3 API end-points

    We are deprecating prior versions of the API requests, and standardizing on v3, in order to deliver consistency and efficiency for those customers who want to automate their scanning processes. The v3 interfaces conform better to the REST (Representational State Transfer) standard.

    Standardizing on v3 affords customers greater flexibility. With the updated version, new attributes have become available, and new results are returned.

Release Notes

Support for deprecated report formats will be discontinued after release 2019.10, and support for deprecated queries (v1 or v2) will be discontinued after release 2020.01.

  • Report format transition

    The formats for XML reports was updated in the 2019.05 release, and the format for CSV (comma-separated) reports was updated in 2019.06. The updated formats are not backward compatible with the old reports.

    To ease the transition to the new reports, the old XML and CSV reports are still published and will be published in the 2019.10 release under the “Additional” section, as xml_report (deprecated).xml and csv_report (deprecated).csv.

    Following the 2019.10 release, only the new reports will be published.

  • Deprecation of v1 and v2 APIs

    As a part of our public API versioning strategy, and to ease the transition into using only the v3 API, the requests that are currently supported in version 1 and version 2 will continue to be supported until the 2020.01 release.

    Following version 2020.01, requests to the v1 and v2 versions of the API will no longer be supported.
