Aug 29, 2025 — Guardicore Platform Agent 7.2.1 now in limited availability

21 days ago

Guardicore Platform Agent​ 7.2.1 is now in limited availability. This update includes these updates to the ​SIA​ Threat Protection service:

  • Packet Capture. When inspecting network packets on protected devices with tools like Wireshark, the agent shows that all network traffic goes to the local proxy. To help you troubleshoot connectivity and performance issues, you can now capture network packets and see the actual destination IP addresses of your traffic. To capture packets with Guardicore Platform Agent, you need to install Wireshark. This feature is available only on Windows and macOS.
  • Enhancement to agent full diagnostic. When a user runs a full diagnostic, the agent now generates additional log files with more information. This information includes installed antivirus software, active network connections, firewall status, network interfaces, system extensions, installed VPNs, Secure Web Gateway (SWG) products, and more. You can find these log files in the probes directory of your full diagnostic log archive.
  • Improved experience for user group policy authentication. If your organization configured policies for directory groups or a collection of directory groups, users are now automatically prompted to authenticate through their browser. In previous releases, users were required to authenticate through the agent. This update applies to users that only have the Threat Protection service enabled.

In this update, DNS Firewall is now called Threat Protection. This update also includes various performance improvements.

If you are eligible for this upgrade, you can go to ​Client & Connectors > ​Manage and Download Clients to deploy version 7.2.1. Otherwise, contact your ​Akamai​ account representative to try this update. To learn more about this release, see the official release notes for Guardicore Platform Agent.
