⭐ New

• Control when insights are triggered - per policy: For every policy, you can now choose when insights will be triggered. This helps reduce noise and highlight what matters most. In each policy’s settings, you can choose when insights should be triggered:

  • Default (let Safetica decide to trigger an insight). 

  • Always (trigger a high-severity insight on every policy violation). Use Always for critical policies where you want to know about every violation – this now works even for logging policies.

  • Never (the policy will not trigger insights). Use Never for low-priority policies or if the policy generates too many unnecessary insights.

     You’ll also see a new Insights column in the policy overview, and a quick action in each insight to jump directly to the related policy settings. Policy actions are now also shown in Insight details to give more context.

You can learn more about this feature here.

⭐ New

• Improved Entra ID user synchronization: We’ve enhanced the User scope step when adding Microsoft 365 tenant. Admins can now decide which Entra ID users to sync based on their membership in security groups, providing more control and a smoother setup experience. This new security group selection works alongside any existing MS Graph query filter, helping to fine-tune synchronization without overriding current settings. Learn more.

• AirDrop protection: We’re now able to secure data operations performed via AirDrop. With a properly configured data policy, you can prevent any unintended data leaks through this channel. AirDrop now appears as a new destination type, so you can filter and track it across the product and apply the same security rules as for other transfer methods.

• Improved troubleshooting: You can now choose between collecting existing device logs or running detailed troubleshooting (formerly Enhanced troubleshooting), with new options for duration (1, 3, or 7 days) and the ability to stop anytime.
