Dashi USM™ v1.5.0
New features
- Corrective Actions Log: a new feature that allows you to track and manage corrective actions. You can assign corrective actions to team members, set due dates, and track progress. Corrective actions can be linked to events, controls and risks, so you can see at a glance which corrective actions have been completed or are currently in progress for each event or risk.
- A new Risks Report highlights the most critical, and the most common risks, as referenced by events in your system. This report can help you identify trends and patterns in your risk data, and prioritize your risk management efforts.

- Event timeline now includes more detail from related incidents and corrective actions.

Dashi USM™ v1.1
This release includes a number of new features and improvements to the USM platform. No need to install anything, these changes are available to all users immediately.
Improvements
- Powerful new rules engine replaces per-ingestion rules.
- Improved performance when working with large list views.
- Add multiple URLs per endpoint and request security scans of your URLs directly from the USM interface.

- Events can now be acknowledged and closed, so you can keep track of which events still need attention.
- Port map scan results now highlight newly opened ports and closed ports between scans.
Bug fixes
- When viewing subdomain scanning results, endpoints that have already been added to USM are now marked as such.
- Short event log messages are now displayed correctly in the event log view.

- Fixed bug that caused incidents to fail to save if the resolved datetime was empty.
- nmap port scan results would not render in Safari as it would not load the XML stylesheet. Results are now converted to HTML and displayed correctly in all browsers.
New rules engine
Per-ingestion rules were complicated and tedious to manage. The new Rules engine in USM enables you to configure rules that are applied to all ingested event logs. This makes it easier to manage rules and ensures that the same rules are applied consistently across all data sources.
A simple graphical rule configuration interface allows you to create complex and powerful rules quickly and easily.
Supports matching event log source, endpoint (host) or endpoint name (string match). The event log message can be matched against a case-sensitive string, or for more powerful searching you can use a regular expression.
Lastly you can configure the rule to match only if the event message does or does not match the previously received event message from the same source. This is useful for detecting when output has changed, without receiving a flood of notifications every time the same event is logged.
