Release 10.32.2

March 03, 2025

What’s New?

Update: User Interface (UI 4.0) of the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform

Automatic UI 4.0 Upgrade with Rollback Option

We rolled out our newly designed user interface (UI) for the entire platform in the latter half of January 2025! This update introduced a consistent and streamlined experience across all applications simultaneously, ensuring that navigation and functionality are more intuitive than ever. As part of this transition, the new UI 4.0 will become the default interface when you log in.

We are implementing this transition in phases to ensure a smooth experience for all users. To stay updated on the rollout schedule for UI 4.0 Phase 2, subscribe to the Qualys Status page.

Existing customers can temporarily toggle back to the previous interface for next 60 days if needed. However, the new subscribers will automatically access UI 4.0 without this option.

The toggle switch to swap between the new and old UI is located under the Help menu in the top navigation bar.

Switch to old UI toggle.

PC - API Vulnerability Management When the subusers launched policy report based on host ID and instance string with OS, using the API /api/2.0/fo/report/, subusers were getting the output as parameter instance_string has invalid value: os for AGMS account.

PC - Reports Policy Compliance When the users performed a policy evaluation, it failed due to a mismatch in apostrophes between the expected and actual control values. To resolve this, users needed to update the expected value to match the actual apostrophe and re-run the evaluation. This behavior was previously not documented. It is now added in the Online Help in the Using the Policy Editor section.
