New features and improvements

  • Temporarily deactivate Threat Protection. This functionality lets you disable Threat Protection for a specified duration. After the specified time elapses, Threat Protection automatically re-enables to ensure continued security. If your administrator allows it, you can also select to disable Threat Protection for an unlimited amount of time.
  • Upload logs when disabling Threat Protection. This new capability lets you share client logs with your administrator when disabling Threat Protection.
  • Japanese translation. Personalize your experience with the new display language customization available in the client’s settings.
  • Info tab updates. You can copy all information from the Info tab with a single click. Other changes have been made for better clarity.
  • Proxy support. Allows Zero Trust Client to route all traffic to a forward proxy before reaching the Enterprise Application Access (EAA) Cloud.
  • Full Diagnostic improvements. The Full Diagnostic feature is always available, regardless of the client’s status.
  • Quick Test improvements. We have expanded this diagnostic to test both Access and Threat Protection, allowing you to quickly troubleshoot both components at the same time.

Known issues

  • If you have a space in the username on the end-user's machine, full diagnostic cannot be run successfully for troubleshooting. As a work around, avoid using a space in the username.

  • Due to recent changes introduced by Apple in the latest macOS security updates, the auto-update feature in the following ZTC versions is affected and doesn’t function properly:

    • 5.1.0,
    • 5.1.2,
    • 5.1.3.

    As a result, ZTC versions prior to 5.2 don’t support auto-updates on macOS versions 13.4.1 (Ventura), 12.6.7 (Monterey), and later. Please note that manual update options are still available for affected systems. This issue is resolved in ​Zero Trust Client​ 5.2, which you can install manually or via your MDM solution.
