Session Management & Recording
Our platform's new session management and recording capabilities give administrators full control and visibility over remote access. Sessions can now require explicit approval before being established, ensuring only authorized and verified activity takes place. Every session can be automatically recorded for auditing and compliance, with flexible storage options including seamless integration with S3 storage for scalable, long-term retention.

Layer 2 VPN
The new on-demand Layer 2 VPN provides real-time layer 2 network access to remote resources exactly when it’s needed. A user or operator can connect to a remote network as if they were on-site, enabling seamless troubleshooting, support for SCADA or legacy protocols, and transparent access without persistent tunnels. This delivers powerful flexibility while preserving Endian’s strong security and control.

Gateway Onboarding and Configuration Management
We've made numerous improvements to make onboarding new gateways simpler and less error prone using more process visibility and monitoring. In addition, we've added more powerful tools that provide complete configuration management using gateway provisioning and the Endian Management Center (EMC). Collectively, these tools simplify the administration of gateways configuration and lifecycle management saving organization time and money.

New Kernel
The kernel upgrade brings faster overall performance, stronger security, and broader support for modern hardware. Systems run more smoothly thanks to improvements in how the kernel manages memory, schedules workloads, and handles storage. Networking becomes more reliable and flexible, while virtualization features offer better stability and protection for cloud and container environments. The update also adds support for the latest processors, graphics cards, and connectivity standards, along with better power efficiency and monitoring tools to improve system reliability across everyday operations.
