Third Party Applications Control, Bcc on Emails, and more!

✨ Third-Party Applications Control

Our latest control, Third-Party Applications, gives you a clear view of the apps your employees have granted their corporate accounts access to. Employees often sign into SaaS apps through a flow like so:
Users will see this prompt if they authorize third-party apps through a corporate Google account.
Users will see this prompt if they authorize third-party apps through a corporate Google account.
With our new control, apps will automatically land in your Watchlist, making it easy to explore their activity or give the green light to those you trust. Stay in control and keep your data secure, all with just a few clicks!
Image without caption
With this latest release, you are now able to:
  1. Set Risk Thresholds in the Configuration Tab: Define custom risk thresholds for applications, allowing the system to automatically scan and flag apps based on your criteria—like low user adoption or personal use. Apps meeting these thresholds will be automatically added to the Watchlist.
  1. Triage and Track Applications: Easily update the status of each application to Approved if it is safe or necessary for business use, or work with employees directly to revoke access.
  1. Add Contextual Comments: Provide additional context by adding comments to each application, streamlining communication and decision-making.
  1. Receive Real-Time Notifications for Flagged Apps: Get instant notifications whenever new apps are flagged, prompting you to check the console for a closer look.

Why is this great

  • Enhanced Visibility: Get real-time insights into third-party apps accessing your data, making it easier to identify and manage potentially risky applications.
  • Configurable Settings: Tailor permissions management to your organization by setting custom risk thresholds, ensuring alerts align with your security standards.
  • Proactive Notifications: Stay ahead with instant alerts when new, high-sensitivity apps are flagged, so you can review and manage access promptly.
  • Streamlined App Management: By categorizing apps as approved or watched and adding comments, your team can track and document application activity with ease.

Chrome Browser Management Control

✨ Chrome Browser Management

What is Chrome Browser Management?

The majority of employees’ work happens in a browser, such as Chrome, but browsers are also prone to hacks and vulnerabilities. Chrome Enterprise Core sets safe browsing settings to makes sure browsers are secured and protected. Chrome Browser Management leverages Mobile Device Management (MDM) to give you deeper visibility into browser activity in Chrome. You can now enforce key security policies, like Safe Browsing and mandatory Chrome updates, to keep your organization secure. We’ve developed configurations and settings that mean you are able to just toggle-on features in a simple light-touch way.

What’s New?

With this feature, you can:
  • View Installed Extensions: Chrome extensions are often a source of vulnerabilities. Now, you can easily view which extensions are installed across your fleet. Simply navigate to the device details page to see all installed extensions.
  • Set Security Policies: Configure security policies directly in the Chrome Browser, such as enabling Safe Browsing and enforcing Chrome updates. This is especially important for industries with strict compliance requirements, like HIPAA, where enhanced protection is a must.

Make Sure this Feature is Enabled!

Check out our help article here and follow the instructions to turn on Chrome Browser Management.

Coming Soon!

We’re working on building more controls, such as setting policies to block certain actions and receive real-time alerts. Expect more enhancements to roll out in the coming weeks!
Extension Management: We’re planning to release a new feature for extension management that will allow you to set policies and block risky extensions. To prepare for this update, we may require additional permissions from your Google Workspace. Don’t worry—there’s no need to update anything right now, but stay tuned for instructions on how to update your API permissions when the time comes.

Why is this great?

✅ Increased Visibility: See what’s happening inside your Chrome browsers and manage extensions more effectively.
✅ Enhanced Security: Automatically enforce security policies to protect your users without disrupting their workflow.
✅ Stay Ahead of Threats: With our upcoming controls and alerting mechanisms, you’ll be able to respond to risks before they impact your organization.

Windows OS Version Controls

✨ Managed Windows Updates

We’re excited to announce the expansion of our macOS Version Control! The control has now been renamed to OS Version Control and has been enhanced to include management of Windows updates alongside macOS updates. This update will allow you to monitor and manage the OS versions across both macOS and Windows devices within your organization, ensuring they are up-to-date and compliant.
Image without caption
To read more about our control and get guidance for how to auto-enforce it, check out our guidance here.

Why is this great?

✅ Expanded Coverage: Ensure that both macOS and Windows devices in your fleet are up-to-date and compliant with your security standards.
✅ Focus on user experience: Our built in 14-day soak period allows for version updates to be validated as bug-free before being pushed out onto devices. We also default to allowing a 7-day window for user-led restarts to minimize disruption and impact — we don’t want anyone to be forced to restart their device in the middle of a busy day!

Controls Can Now Be Disabled

We’ve heard your feedback, and have built out the ability to disable controls, should you chose not to enforce them. This will help present a more accurate view of your security performance that excludes unused controls, providing a simpler view with just the features you care about being visible.
To configure enabled controls, visit the Organization Settings page. Click the “Select Controls” button to disable individual controls, uncheck the controls you wish to disable, and click “Save Enabled Controls” to save your changes.
Image without caption
Controls will still show in the control tab, but will have a flag indicating that the control is disabled.

Why is this great?

✅ Customizable Security Dashboard: Tailor your security view by disabling controls you don't use, focusing only on the most relevant features.
✅ Enhanced User Experience through Simplified Monitoring: Eliminate clutter from unused controls, making it easier to monitor and manage the security aspects that matter most to you.
✅ Warning Pop Ups will help notify you if any controls that are being disabled will impact compliance with your selected compliance frameworks.

Introducing Windows Home to Pro Upgrades

Within our Device Enrollment control, we have added an additional Windows-only step that helps users identify and upgrade devices that are operating on the incorrect operating system. It’s essential that devices are on the correct operating systems to ensure they are able to be properly managed (allowing for things like password resets). You will automatically be notified of devices via the Notification center, which will allow you to take action on affected devices:

Device Enrollment Control is now Editable

We are excited to share the improvements we have made to the Device Enrollment control to help give you a more accurate report of which devices users are on, and whether their devices are enrolled or not.
You now have the ability to edit device allocation in the Device Enrollment tab, which means you can overwrite the predictions the Zip console generates on which users have which work devices, to more accurately reflect reality. This will give you the ability to take actions such as: excluding contractor devices, excluding devices with only CrowdStrike deployed, and allocating multiple devices to one user. All of which will help give you an accurate picture of your device enrollment compliance state.
Simply select ‘Edit Device Assignments’, then add or remove devices directly in the table, and click ‘Save Device Assignments’ to save your changes.
Image without caption

Why is this great?

✅ Edibility Offers Greater Flexibility: Now you can directly edit the device assignment, you can ensure 100% accuracy in how device enrollment is being reported.
✅ Improved Ease of Identifying Non-compliant Devices: You’ll clearly be able to see the mapping of employees and the devices they have, to action on tracking down non-compliant devices.
✅ Better Control of Accounts Without Devices: You no longer need to exclude accounts that don’t have assigned devices. This means you can now still enforce controls like 2FA, and see information on Identity Threat Detection, and Third-Party App Monitoring, on accounts that are not tied to devices without affecting your enrollment metrics.

Slack & Email Notifications

We are so excited to announce a brand new integration that now allows you to receive Zip notifications via Slack or Email. Notifications will help alert you to changes in your fleet and within the Zip console that require your attention.
Notifications alert you to important updates such as: failing health checks for providers (like Google workspace or CrowdStrike), devices that are not checking in, CrowdStrike alerts, or unmanaged devices. New notifications are sent out hourly, but to keep the volume of notifications manageable, you will only be notified of new actions (e.g. you won’t continually be notified of the same issue).

Why is this great?

✅ Enhanced Visibility: Stay informed about critical updates and issues in real-time without needing to constantly check the Zip console.
✅ Proactive Management: Quickly address and resolve potential security threats or system failures as soon as they arise, minimizing downtime and risk.
Here’s a sample notification email:

Identity Threat Monitoring Control

Building on our existing Identity Threat report, which provides visibility into potentially harmful behaviors, including failed login attempts, logins from unusual IP addresses, or admin accounts removing security configs, such as 2FA, we have now released a control that allows you to triage those alerts from within the platform. This will help you manage any suspicious identity threats, check in with users to confirm the behavior, and then close our alerts directly within the Zip console.
Check out additional information and guidance on the control here.

Why is this great?

✅ Enhanced Visibility: Gain comprehensive insights into identity-related threats with detailed reports on failed login attempts, unusual IP addresses, and administrative actions.
✅ Proactive Threat Management: Stay ahead of security threats by promptly addressing suspicious activities, reducing the risk of breaches.

Compliance Framework Tab Update

We’ve changed how we measure your organization’s compliance with various frameworks! Previously, the denominator was total number of devices only, and the numerator was devices that are 100% compliant. This made it very hard for organizations to get to 100% on these controls!
We’ve changed the measurement to be the total number of control targets that are satisfied over the total number of controls that could be satisfied, painting a more accurate (and nicer!) picture of compliance across your organization.

Updated Device Enrollment Control

We're pleased to share that we have revamped the reporting for our Device Enrollment Control, to give you more precise and comprehensive insights into how complete your enrollment process is.
What’s Changed?
Previously device enrollment percentage was measured against number of ‘members’ (people) in the organization. This meant users with multiple devices, users with devices that didn’t need to be managed (such as contractors), or members without devices (such as service accounts) were skewing the data on device enrollment, and ultimately making it harder to determine how your organization was tracking towards 100% device enrollment.
Now we measure device enrollment against the number of devices your organization has that should be enrolled. We combine data from your identity provider and session data, to make informed predictions on which users have which work devices. The new UI shows each device that is enrolled or expected to enroll nested under the members in the control progress table with details such as the device type, status, and the reasoning for why we predicted the device exists. This will help give you an accurate picture of how many devices should be enrolled, and your progress towards 100% enrollment.
Image without caption

Why is this great?

✅ Improved Accuracy in Reporting: These change provide a more accurate picture of how many devices need to enroll in MDM, and exactly how you are tracking in your compliance
✅ Improved Ease of Identifying Non-compliant Devices: You’ll clearly be able to see the mapping of employees and the devices they have, to action on tracking down non-compliant devices.
✅ Better Control of Accounts Without Devices: You no longer need to exclude accounts that don’t have assigned devices. This means you can now still enforce controls like 2FA, and see information on Identity Threat Detection, and Third-Party App Monitoring, on accounts that are not tied to devices without affecting your enrollment metrics.
Coming Soon! Our next feature update will make this editable, meaning you can make adjustments to device assignments by adding or removing devices in the enrollment control to keep your metrics 100% accurate.

Identity Threat Detection Report

We're excited to roll out the Identity Threat Detection Report, a new feature in your Zip security toolkit. This report provides visibility into potentially harmful behaviors, including failed login attempts, logins from unusual IP addresses, or admin accounts removing security configs, such as 2FA.
The report pulls identity provider data into an events log that provides a single place to see activity across all corporate accounts associated with your organization. To help navigate and filter out potentially suspicious activity, we’ve built a severity categorization that applies ‘warning’ and ‘critical’ severity flags so that you can have easy access the events that require attention while still being able to see informational events (like normal logins).
Under this report you’ll see a high-level overview of key metrics, including the number of ‘warning’ and ‘critical’ alerts and the rate of failed login attempts.
Image without caption

Why’s This Great?

✅ Improved Visibility: Track and monitor security-related events such as blocked login attempts, compromised passwords, accounts taking sensitive actions, and elevated permissions being granted.
✅ Severity Levels: With the addition of severity levels to the report, you can quickly discern which events pose the greatest risk and require immediate attention.
✅ Event Log Table: Easily access and navigate through a detailed log of security events, helping you to stay informed and proactive.

What's Next?

🔜 Actionable Controls: We're developing a feature that will let you take immediate action on the security events you see. Soon, you'll be able to respond to alerts directly within the console via a Control, with prescriptive recommendations for remediation.
🔜 Including more IdPs: We're working to include more identity providers, namely Okta and Microsoft Entra, to ensure that even more users can benefit from this new feature. Stay tuned for updates!

Third-Party Applications Permissions Control

We’re excited to announce our new control: Third-Party Applications Permissions. This feature allows you to review all the permissions granted across third party applications in a single place. We’ve built a ‘permissions sensitivity’ categorization, which flags the high sensitivity permissions to your company data.
Image without caption

Why is this great?

✅ Increase visibility into the permissions of apps across your business in a single view
✅ High sensitivity permissions are flagged to support quick management and ability to action the highest-risk permissions.
Sounds familiar? This functionality used to live on individual user’s accounts, were you could see the app permissions they’d granted. With this new Control you have a more manageable single-view where you can see a comprehensive list of every application with permissions granted across all your employees.
Coming soon! This feature is currently in beta, and currently this feature is view-only (i.e. you can review app permissions, but cannot action changing them yet). We are building out the functionality to manage permissions from within the Zip console, so keep an eye out for our new product feature update on this!
In order to preview this feature, you’ll need to add two new permissions to the Google Workspace integration. To see what permissions you need to add, you can go to https://console.zipsec.com and click in to your Google provider. You can see a health check that will flag if you’re missing any permissions!
Image without caption
You can then proactively add these permissions by reviewing the “Granting Permissions to the Zip Service Account” section here. Reach out to success@zipsec.com if you have any questions!

Introducing The Notification Center

We’re excited to announce the release of our new notifications, which now helps you manage your Zip console by alerting you to actions and changes in the status of your fleet.
Notifications will alert you to changes in the status or abnormal activities across devices, including: devices that fall out of management, devices failing to check in, or Windows devices operating on ineffective licenses (Windows Home rather than Pro). Any CrowdStrike alerts will also be flagged in notifications.
The notifications will be categorized with ‘important’ tags to help highlight critical items, and each notification will contain a summary of the issue along with a recommended action to take and the ability to directly click in to action on the issue.
We will continue to build out the scope of this feature over time so look out for additional notification types over the coming weeks!

Why Is This Great?

✅ Increased Visibility: Stay informed about critical actions and status changes across your fleet without needing to constantly track each control manually.
✅ Efficient Prioritization: Notifications are tagged as 'important', ensuring you can swiftly prioritize and address pressing issues with summarized details and actionable recommendations.
✅ Easily Actionable: Take immediate action by directly accessing the related issue from the notification, enabling quick investigation and resolution.

Introducing Crowdstrike Falcon USB Control

To support the Crowdstrike Falcon Device Control we have built a control in the Zip Console that allows you to turn on and configure it right within our Platform.
Within Crowdstrike the control monitors and allows you to set the permissions around safe and accountable usage of USB devices. The feature we have built in the Zip console allows you to enable this control in just a few clicks. You can then review and manage the specific activities of your devices within the Crowdstrike portal.

Why is this great?

✅ At Zip, we’re all about making life easier and simpler, and this control enables you to configure this control in just a few clicks!
✅ With the auto-enforce feature, devices will automatically be compliant with this feature from day-1 with no action required from your IT department or the user.

Introducing Editable Email Templates within the Console

We are excited to offer the new functionality that now allows you to create and edit email templates within the Zip console.
This means when you are sending out enrollment instructions for device enrollment, or other controls, you can now tailor the email templates directly within the Zip console before sending!

Why is this great?

✅ Improved user experience as language within emails can now be tailored to align with language and terminology of your organization. Instructions will be clearer and easy to follow meaning users can quickly execute on enrollment activities.
✅ Improved flexibility and efficiency through the ability to create and save multiple email templates. Once a template is created you can select it from a dropdown menu when you’d like to use it!

Auto-Disable Activation Lock Across your Mac Fleet

📰
Read more about Activation Lock by checking out our Zip Blog Post here!
We’re excited to introduce our latest control to help you manage your fleet: Activation Lock Management! Our new control provides a solution to the challenge faced by IT-teams of dealing with Apple devices that have ‘Activation Lock’ turned on. Activation Lock can prevent IT teams from re-issuing devices from old employees to new — if not properly managed, returned Apple devices are at risk of being unusable, and resulting in a massive waste of money for a company.
Our Activation Lock control features helps organizations ensure all Apple devices have activation lock disabled, giving them back control of their fleet! This control:
  1. Prevents activation lock from being turned on without preventing users from using personal imessage accounts
  1. Once auto-enforced, this control monitors activation lock usage, and automatically notify users to turn off activation lock if it’s on.

Why is this great?

✅ Cost and Time saving for businesses by preventing the risk of returned laptops being un-usable and turning into “$2,000 paperweights”.
✅ Ensures activities, such device locking and wiping, are managed by your company’s IT team, and not the individual, which is much better corporate security practice.
✅ … without restricting users! Users can still have personal FindMy on their laptop, without impacting the disabling of activation lock.

Introducing SaaS Security (Monitoring)

Introducing SaaS Security (Monitoring)
We’re excited to preview our new SaaS Security Monitoring feature! This feature will allow you to review all the apps that users have granted permissions to and see the ones with elevated read and/or write permissions to your company data. We’ve built a ‘permissions sensitivity’ categorization, which flags the high sensitivity permissions for your visibility.
In order to preview this feature, you’ll need to add two new permissions to the Google Workspace integration. You can proactively add the permissions by reviewing the “Granting Permissions to the Zip Service Account” section here, or you’ll be prompted to add the permissions by an alert message when viewing a Google Workspace account page within the Zip console. Reach out to success@zipsec.com if you have any questions!
Currently, this preview is only offered for Google Workspace accounts. Soon, however, you can expect this view for Entra accounts, plus the ability to manage SaaS Security / App permissions right in the Zip Console. See guidance for how to preview this feature here.

Asset Management for Apple Devices

We’ve improved the visibility into your Apple device fleet through our new asset management for apple devices feature. Now, as soon as an apple device is purchased through Apple Business Manager (ABM), it will be visible in the Zip Console, even before the device in enrolled in the MDM. Once it enrolls in the MDM, the ABM record will disappear and you will manage it as a normal managed device.

The parameter that determine what classifies as ‘out of date’ can be set by you in your Zip console.

Why is this great?

✅ Increased compliance across the MacOS Version control as users are now automatically prompted to update if they fall out of compliance
✅ Ability to set auto-enrollment means it’s a lighter management lift as users will automatically be prompted to update their devices once they are outside version parameters
✅ Whilst still being flexible … through the ability to configure the parameters from when a device should be updated

CrowdStrike Falcon Prevention Policy

We are excited to roll out our latest security control for CrowdStrike Falcon! Our new “CrowdStrike Falcon Prevention Policy” control both detects and prevents malicious processes. This builds on our existing Detection policy, after a 21 day ‘soak period’ to learn the ‘normal’ activities of your organization, we’ll automatically move devices in your organization to the new control, ensuring you best-in-class protection with minimal hassle.

Why is this great?

✅ Prevention offers a higher level of security as we are now able to prevent the activity entirely, rather than just reacting to alerts (as is the case in the detection policy)
✅ Ability to set auto-enrollment means it’s light management lift as devices can seamlessly move from detection to prevention policy after the 21-day soak period is completed
✅ Whilst still being flexible … through the ability to go into CrowdStrike and grant exceptions to activities that your organization knows to be safe
