A Pair of F-Response Releases, Box.com, Improved Gmail, new Universal drivers and more

Jul 29, 2015

We are very pleased to announce a pair of releases for F-Response products. F-Response Classic (TACTICAL, Consultant, Consultant + Covert, and Enterprise) has now been updated to version 6.0.2.0. This latest release of F-Response includes a few minor product corrections and updates, as well as the following new additions to the F-Response Connector:

Gmail Improvements

F-Response Connector customers (All Levels) when connecting to Gmail accounts starting in this release will be using OAuth style authentication and accessing a separate web service provided by Google specifically for these types of operations. This new mechanism does not have the same throttling issues as IMAP and internal testing results have shown greatly improved speed, performance, and stability.

Box.com Support

F-Response Connector customers (CE and higher) can now use the F-Response Connector to attach to Box.com accounts. Box.com support is new to the Connector and something multiple customers have requested. We are very happy to now support this cloud storage provider.

Offline Email Cache Mounting

F-Response Connector customers (CE and higher) will now also be able to re-attach Email Cache files (FEC files created by the Connector) in an offline mode. This means cache files can be re-attached without needing to authenticate to the provider or re-acquire email messages.

You'll find these updates and others in the latest version of F-Response available on the downloads page.

In addition, F-Response Universal/Now customers will be pleased to know that version 1.0.75.7 has been released. This latest release of F-Response Universal/Now includes updates to the following components:

F-Response SCSI Drivers

Improved and corrected a minor issue with the F-Response SCSI Driver for Universal/Now. This correction improves performance and stability in rare situations where drives are being attached and detached rapidly.

LDAP Troubleshooting

Included a new LDAP Authentication testing tool in the F-Response Universal Appliance. This tool will make it easy to troubleshoot LDAP authentication.

IPv4/IPv6 Support

Improvements to IPv4/IPv6 support for the F-Response Universal software allowing the appliance to run in IPv4,IPv6, or Both mode.

New F-Response Now customers will be running 1.0.75.7 automatically, Universal customers should pull down the latest repository packages as indicated in the manual.

Thanks and enjoy!
