      Windows agent 10.5.0.1760

      March 29th, 2024

      Currently under gradual rollout to all customers (usually takes 2-3 weeks).

      New Features:

      • Secure Web Gateway (which includes Web Filtering and Malware Protection) now stays active even when the user is signed out of the agent, using the most recently cached web filtering policy.

      Enhancements:

      • The agent supports the new European Data Residency instance of Harmony SASE, which will be launched in April. The data residency region can be configured when installing the agent using a new 'region' parameter, or by switching to it from the platform sign-in page when signing in to the agent.

      • Improved, simplified connection logic and refactoring for speed.

      • Agent logging events have been moved to a new, robust and more scalable infrastructure.
