Akamai Zero Trust Client 6.1.0 is now in limited availability. To learn more about this release, see the Zero Trust Client release notes.
As part of this release, the client now includes these updates to the Threat Protection service:
- New flag to disable Threat Protection during installation. During Zero Trust Client silent installation, you can now specify a new parameter to disable Threat Protection. This feature is useful if you’d like to enable Threat Protection only for selected end users in your organization.
- Multi-user support for Threat Protection-only mode. If the client is enabled for the Threat Protections service only, multiple users can use the same device. After a user authenticates to the client with their login credentials, a logout button is available for the user to log out of their account, enabling easy switching between users on the same workstation. To use this feature, you must enable the Support multiple users per device setting in your SIA policy.
- New Threat Protection configuration settings. You can now contact your Akamai representative to show these configuration settings for the Threat Protection service:
- Block Unprotected Traffic. Blocks traffic that occurred before the Threat Protection service was enabled or the client was in protection mode. This behavior is enabled by default. However, you can show this setting to disable it.
- Skip DoT certificate check. Skips the certificate revocation check for DNS over TLS (DoT) if there is no connection to the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) server.
For more information, see Threat Protection settings in the Zero Trust Client documentation.
