Participants for Controlled Rollout of new Full Disk Encryption release
We are preparing for the release of our new Full Disk Encryption (FDE) version and we are looking for customers who are willing to participate in a controlled rollout of our upcoming release. Participants should be aware that there may be potential limitations or restrictions during this phase. If you are interested in an early access to the new release and providing feedback, please contact us under product@matrix42.com for more details.
Retirement of the EDP Extension
We decided based on customer feedback and lower than expected adoption to shift the investment from the EDP UUX extension to features which will benefit a broader set of customers and provide greater value. This results in a discontinuation of the Unified User Experience for EDP Extension from version 25.0 onwards. Please note that despite of the announcement of the deprecation of the EDP extension, the Service Bus Adapter remains part of the installer, as we are currently evaluating potential alternative use cases. We recommend all customers to disable the Service Bus via the Admin Tool and/or stop the service and set its startup type to "Manual" after updating to version 25.0. Please review Secure Unified Endpoint Management 25.0 for additional information.
Deprecation of english PDF documentation
We have migrated all English-language documentation to our online help portal over the past months. As a result, we will no longer maintain or provide offline help files (PDFs) in English. This ensures that all documentation remains up to date and easily accessible.

Windows Server 2025 Support

You can now deploy Endpoint Data Protection on the latest Windows Server version with confidence. For more details on system requirements and supported platforms, please refer to our System Requirements.

We addressed idea CDP-I-148 and updated the default properties for the EgoSecure Certificates. Starting with this new version, all newly generated certificates will have a RSA key length of 4096 bits and a 13 months (~397 days) validity. In earlier versions, the key length was set to 2048 with a 10 year validity.
