Malwarebytes Endpoint Security v1.9

[djacobson]

Hi everyone! 

We are pleased to announce our latest update to Malwarebytes Endpoint Security, v1.9! 

With this latest update we now provide customers with the option to install and uninstall our Anti-Ransomware agent directly from the Malwarebytes Management Console (v1.9) onto customers' Windows endpoints. They will be able to see Anti-Ransomware detections in dashboards, alerts, and syslog events; giving organizations greater visibility with less effort. The console enables administrators to add and remove Anti-Ransomware exclusions to Policies. Also, this new console update lets customers restore Anti-Ransomware quarantined items. Other changes and improvements for Malwarebytes Endpoint Security v1.9 include:

• Added support for .NET Framework 4.0 and beyond to eliminate endpoint requirement for .NET 3.5
• Added Breach Remediation for Windows, including Forensic Timeliner (unmanaged)
• Updated the Anti-Exploit managed client to v1.12 to improve detection capabilities
• Added real-time protection for Android and macOS endpoints (unmanaged)
