Release Notes March 2025
Release Date: 2025-03-23
New Outscan Architecture Release
We are pleased to announce that today we have released a whole new Outscan architecture, moving Outscan into a whole new containerized platform.
The migration represents a broader transformation in architecture, development processes, and operational workflows, and enables modular software deployment, improved automation, and allows for more efficient maintenance and scaling.
We have not only migrated our UIs and services but also our cloud-hosted scanners, known as attackers.
This upgrade is also the first step toward enabling other significant improvements in the future, including potential improvements such as regional attackers, allowing us to deploy infrastructure in specific geographic areas in the future improving performance, availability, and overall service quality for our customers worldwide.
By making these foundational improvements now, we have the laid groundwork for greater flexibility, faster innovation, and future enhancements that will better support ever evolving customer needs.
The Attackers used to run the SLS scans have been moved as part of the migration, as a consequence of this, a new Vulnerability Scan will need to be run before an SLS update can occur.
Our Customer Support team will be in direct contact with those customers likely to be most affected by this.
Agent download Changes
The agent download process has been moved from the Classic UI into the Portal UI for ALL customers, so Agents will need to be downloaded exclusively from the portal.
Custom Attributes Management with Agents (Classic UI Only)
When downloading Agents within Portal it is possible to now use the key:value as the custom attribute configuration when adding Custom Attributes to the Agent
It possible to set and manage attribute values directly through Portal only if they have been previously set up the attributes in Classic UI
These changes streamline the agent management workflow while maintaining compatibility with existing custom attribute configurations.
To reiterate, a custom attributes in must first be configured Classic UI before being able to set values for these attributes in Portal.
Known issues

A small number of Scheduled reports were still sent over the weekend, despite other systems being offline which may have resulted in incorrect reports being sent.
