CyBlock Hybrid Deployment. The following features have been added:
The Hybrid deployment combines your on-premises CyBlock installation with our CyBlock Cloud service to extend Web filtering and monitoring to your off-premises employees. A CyBlock Cloud account will be created for you.
The Settings – Hybrid page allows you to pair your existing installation of CyBlock with your cloud account by entering an access key.
After pairing occurs, the User Management – Authentication – Rules tab will display a Cloud entry with the same authentication type as the Default entry. You may only change the authentication type for this rule.
When configuration changes occur in your on-premises CyBlock installation, they automatically sync with CyBlock Cloud. The configurations that are synced include the following:
Blocking policies
Web search filtering
Blocking message
Groups and IDs
Custom categories
SSL Inspection data
The ability to manually sync configuration changes with your cloud account is available on the Settings – Hybrid page. You can also temporarily stop all communication between your CyBlock installation and cloud account, reestablish communication, and delete the pairing.
The System Status – Messages – Hybrid Log page displays the communication messages sent between your on-premises CyBlock installation and the CyBlock Cloud server. It is used by Technical Support for troubleshooting purposes.
Application Controls. Additional YouTube video ID formats are now accepted, and previous formats have been updated. You can see the updates to the video ID formats by clicking the View link on the Web Management – Application Controls page.
Corrections
Restore Point Path. On the Restore Points – Download page, the Update Path button now works properly to submit the path of the mapped drive restore location. Previously, an error was occurring.
Coaching Embedded URLs. Sites with embedded URLs are now properly coached. Previously, the video would not play on a YouTube site with an embedded URL when coaching was enabled for the TV/Video Streaming category.
