Malwarebytes 3.0 for Business

[RocksysIT]

We just purchased Endpoint Security about 2 weeks ago and noticed that there has not been any major upgrades to the products for about two years.

In my searching I was excited to see that when 3.0 was released for the home user that in the Q & A that 3.0 was going to be released for Business sometime in 2017. I know that software development takes time so I am not surprised it has not been released yet but wanted to see if there was an updated time table for the release of 3.0 for Business. 

I have the home version and the scans are significantly faster with 3.0 than with the business version.

Thanks.

Hi @RocksysIT, the MBES product is still very much maintained and will receive console updates later in the year. The MB3 engine was already brought to the business products by way of the Endpoint Protection, cloud console version.

Dyllon,

Thanks for the update I am glad to see that the MB3 engine is making its way to the business side. Is there an estimated time frame that it will be available for MBES?

Dyllon,

After rereading your response I wanted to clarify my first post. I was looking at the Business Products Release History and seeing that the "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Business" program has not had any major work posted since May 26, 2016. You are have a point about the "Management Console" and the "Anti-Exploit" programs which have been upgraded recently and that is appreciated.

The information that I am referencing came from https://www.malwarebytes.com/support/releasehistory/business/

I was wanting to see if there were plans to upgrade the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Business program in the near future?

Thanks

Matt

That is correct, MBAM is at 1.80.2.1012, and will stay that way within the current MBES product as it is mature and stable. Its known issues were what the MB3 within the cloud product has addressed. The on-premises version's management console will continue to receive updates until it is able to deploy an equivalent agent as the cloud product does in the future.

Thank You Dyllon for explaining that. I look forward to the day that the on-premise version agent can be upgraded to MB3. Until that time I look forward to see what you come up with for the Management console this fall. 

Keep up the great work keeping the bad guys at bay.
