I primarily use remote VPN solutions to connect securely. We have configured both site-to-site VPN and remote VPN, and it is connected to FortiClient Implementing this solution has streamlined time management in our organization. Without SSO, we would need manual configuration for each PC, but…

Microsoft's new Azure Code Signing is causing a lot of issues for us with One Endpoint Security. We currently have two systems in operation, on-prem and SaaS, and many of the agents won't upgrade beyond version B11564 because these newer versions require Azure Code Signing compliance on the endpoint. If we are not up to date with our Windows updates, we don't have this compliance. Irrespective of the Windows version we are running, we have to apply patches to the machines, if the OS is not damaged, to make them compliant. After that, we can upgrade to the latest version of the respective agent. This process also applies to both Deep Security and Workload Security. I have two production servers: one for Windows and another for Mac. These servers are available in both on-premise and SaaS versions. Additionally, I have a test server that is located on-premises. The significant distinction with the SaaS version is the absence of a test server where I can install a new version. This means I can't allow the agents on it to upgrade and then perform testing. In contrast, with the production SaaS version of One Endpoint Security, I have numerous agents transitioning and coming online. It's essential that these agents upgrade to a newer version. Among these agents, there are five or six different versions, not counting the really old ones that have yet to upgrade due to ACS non-compliance. I can't leave the testing phase for an extended period because I still have outdated agents that need to be updated. These agents can't be left hanging while I wait to test the newest version that has just been released. New versions seem to come out every couple of months in the SaaS environment. In the past, when I solely used the on-premises version, I would review security bulletins for the SaaS version to identify any issues. I'm apprehensive about potential future situations involving this, primarily because the majority of our agents now operate on the cloud version. If a problem is discovered, rolling back on those agents would be challenging. It would require careful operation to revert them to a different version. The on-premises version of One Endpoint Security has an update function that allows us to manually update a bunch of servers. For example, if I just turned on a policy, I can force the agents to quickly download the policy and start following the update procedure or update settings. However, this function is not available in the SaaS version. This is because the system cannot communicate with the agent through the firewall. The SaaS version has an automatic update function and an update source entry in the update agents sub-menu, but it does not have a way to force agents to update. This is a problem because we cannot automatically update the agents. We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command. Currently, we have no choice but to wait until the agents find the updates themselves.
