What's New in HYAS Protect!
Partner Admin Role NEW
HYAS Protect introduces a new Partner Admin role, empowering partners and resellers to efficiently manage MSSPs, organizations, and users within their client base. With scoped administrative permissions and a hierarchical interface, partners and resellers can now better support and scale their operations with MSSPs.
Benefits:
Streamlined MSSP Management: Resellers & Partners can now create, view, and modify MSSPs, organizations, and users within their parent MSSP.
Tailored Administrative Tools: The Partner Admin role offers SuperAdmin-like capabilities, scoped specifically for resellers’ MSSP clients.
Enhanced Hierarchical Clarity: The new Partners > MSSPs > Organizations view simplifies navigation and improves visibility.
Organizational Policy Inheritance NEW
We’ve made it easier for MSSPs to centrally manage policies across their organizations. A new inheritance system allows client organizations to inherit Custom Lists, and Category settings from their MSSP while retaining local flexibility when permitted.
Benefits:
Simplified management of shared security settings for MSSPs.
Clear visibility of inherited settings for client organizations.
Granular control over inheritance, ensuring flexibility when needed.
Agent Enhancements - v2.2.11 IMPROVEMENT
This release brings enhanced functionality to the HYAS Protect Agent for Mac and Windows devices. Updates include:
Auto-Restart for Unexpected Failures (Windows):
The Agent now automatically restarts if it unexpectedly fails on Windows devices, ensuring continuous protection and minimizing downtime. This improvement brings Windows functionality in line with macOS, enhancing reliability and reducing the need for manual intervention.
Dynamic Device Name Synchronization:
When a device’s name is updated, the “Manage Agent” tab in the Admin Portal now automatically reflects the new name. This eliminates duplicate entries, ensuring accurate and up-to-date device tracking, which simplifies asset management for administrators.
Option to Disable Agent on Local Networks:
Organizations can now configure the Agent to disable itself when connected to a local network. This allows for seamless integration with local DNS infrastructure while still maintaining the protection of the HYAS Protect Agent on external networks, offering greater flexibility without compromising security.
15-Minute Disable:
Administrators can temporarily disable an Agent for 15 minutes, allowing for short-term adjustments or troubleshooting. After the set time, the Agent automatically re-enables, ensuring security remains intact without requiring manual reactivation.
Benefits:
Increased Reliability: Automatic recovery features ensure consistent performance and minimize disruptions.
Streamlined Management: Simplified processes save time and reduce administrative effort.
Enhanced Flexibility: Configurable options adapt to diverse environments without compromising security.
Improved Security Assurance: Temporary adjustments and automated safeguards maintain strong protection at all times.
Executive Reporting Improvements IMPROVEMENT

Similarly, the term "Source Network" has replaced "Corp Network" across all platform components. These updates are applied throughout the platform, including the Executive Dashboard, ensuring clarity and consistency in terminology.
