Jul 7, 2021 — ETP updates

  • Deploy individual lists. If a list is ready for deployment, an administrator can now select the specific lists they are allowed to manage and would like to deploy. Before this update, a deploy operation would publish all lists that the administrator was permitted to manage.

  • New filters and dimensions added to DNS Summary and Proxy Summary reports. New filter criteria and dimensions for access control are now available in the DNS Summary and Proxy Summary activity reports.

  • Scheduled Reports Enhancements. You can now schedule reports for access control events, as well as threat events. Additionally, you can schedule a report for DNS Summary or Proxy Summary activity data. The DNS Summary and Proxy Summary scheduled reports show the top activity based on ​SIA​ reporting dimensions such as location, domain, geographical region, and more.

  • Updated firewall hostname for DoT. The Security Connector DNS Forwarder and ​ETP Client​ now use the *.akaetp.net hostname for DNS-over-TLS (DoT) connections. Make sure you update your firewall, on-premise proxy, and allowlists to use this hostname with outbound TCP port 443 or 853. Note: For ​ETP Client​, the port you must allow depends on the port that’s configured in the policy. In a policy, you can select port 443 or 853 for DoT. For DNS Forwarder, the port you must allow depends on the port configured in Security Connector for a DNS Forwarder configuration.

These features are in beta:

  • Sublocations. An administrator can now configure sublocations for ​SIA​ locations. A sublocation can represent different virtual local area networks (VLANs) that are routed to the Internet with the same IP address. This feature allows you to apply different policies to your sublocations and in turn, define more granular access.

  • New Threat Categories. ​Akamai​ has added risky categories to the threat settings of a policy. These risky categories include Adware, Coin Mining, Newly Seen Domains, Newly Registered Domains, Potentially Harmful Domains, and DNS Tunneling services. Before this update, risky domains were tracked in a policy setting where administrators could select an action that would send all risky domains to the proxy for scanning. With these new risky categories, you can select an action for each category.

To participate in the beta of these features, contact your ​Akamai​ representative.
