What's new in 4.9.0?

The following new features and enhancements are contained in the 4.9.0 version of the Gateway. This includes updates since the release of version 4.8.0.

Role-based administration and Active Directory integration

Administration user permissions are now defined in a role rather than as part of a user account, and Active Directory groups can be linked to Gateway roles allowing much simpler management of large numbers of administration users.

Avira anti-virus available as a third licensable scanner

You can now select Avira anti-virus, alongside Sophos and/or Kaspersky. See Anti-Virus Scanners for more information.

Images in message annotations

You can now place an image – such as a company logo - above or below an HTML message annotation.

Microsoft Project file support in Detect Lexical Expression

The Detect Lexical Expression content rule now supports Microsoft Project (MPP) files as a media type in the What to Look For? panel.

Removal of printer information in Sanitize Document Content

Enabling the Infrastructure information check box, in the What to Look For? panel of the Sanitize Document Content rule, configures the Gateway to remove printer information. See Sanitization for more information.

Sanitization and redaction bypass for signed documents

You can now configure the Gateway to bypass sanitization or redaction content rules if a signed document is encountered. A new What to Look For? clause enables you to bypass any of the following content rules: Redact text, Sanitize Active Content, or Sanitize Document Content.

Removal of potential embedded data from images

The system can now remove potential embedded data (for example, data encoded using steganographic techniques) from a range of image file types. See What To Look For? Clauses for more information.
