Summary

We are happy to announce the releases of BigFix Insights for Vulnerability
Remediation (IVR) 3.1 and CyberFOCUS Analytics 1.1.2. These new releases
include the following changes:

   - Support for IVR deployment on SQL Server 2022
   - CISA KEV Report preview has ended

The goal of CyberFOCUS and IVR remains the same: To help IT Operations
teams prioritize, protect and prove cyber risk reduction through
remediation of critical vulnerabilities and control cybersecurity risk in
real time.
IVR Deployment on SQL Server 2022

   - The Insights database now supports being deployed on SQL 2022, so IVR
   3, which supports Rapid7, can be deployed on Windows SQL 2022.

CISA KEV Report Preview Ended

A year ago, HCL BigFix introduced the CISA KEV Report in CyberFOCUS
Analytics. With this report end users could instantly tell if they had CISA
KEV exposures in their computing environment, how dangerous the exposures
were, and how far behind the expected remediation date they were. The
standard BigFix entitlements were not enough to show a comprehensive view
of the vulnerability attack surface. Therefore, BigFix has dramatically
changed the CISA KEV Report and the associated content.

There is a new Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Content Pack Add On pack
which adds significant, unique value to the CISA KEV report. This add-on
has NEW content consisting of time-sensitive patch catalog items NOT
covered by existing HCL BigFix patch catalogs. The Known Exploited
Vulnerabilities Content Pack Add On pack has:

   - Over 300 exclusive pieces of patch content
   - Remediation for over 65% of all supported content in the CISA KEV
   catalog
   - 24 hour target of publishing from the time of CISA KEV inclusion
   Combine all this with the ability to analyze your CISA KEV coverage
   immediately, usually without any additional scanning or impact on the end
   user, and the whole CISA KEV solution value has risen considerably.

With these improvements, as of this release, the CISA KEV report will only
be available to customers with the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Content
Pack Add On pack. For questions and information on how to upgrade, please
reach out to your appropriate HCL BigFix License Team Member.
