Monthly Release Notes - March 2026
Digital Guardian
Agent for Windows
Version: 11.0.1
March, 2026
New Features
-
Enhanced input validation for mandatory justification fields. When a justification is required, the system now rejects submissions that contain only whitespace. Users must provide a valid, non-empty response.
-
DG Agent improves performance by skipping inspection for resources loaded from known advertising-related domains. This is achieved by incorporating an extended list of advertising domains into the domainflags.txt file. As a result, processing overhead is reduced and performance is improved when loading websites that display ads.
-
Improved Office 365 online performance by updating the domain skip list to reduce NTU buffer inspections during OneDrive document editing. For more information on Domain Flags File Changes, refer to the Resource File Changes section in the DG Agent for Windows 11.0.1 Release Notes available at Fortra Support Portal.
-
To improve performance on telemetry-heavy websites, a new Lua-based skip mechanism is introduced to bypass NTU buffer inspection for telemetry-related requests.
A new skip.lua script sets the request action to ignore when both the following conditions are met:
-
The request method is POST or PUT
-
The request Content-Type is JSON
The lua.json configuration was updated to invoke skip.lua when telemetry traffic is identified based on domain name or URL path, such as:
-
Domain name contains keyword such as “telemetry“, “collector“ or “metrics“.
-
URL path contains keywords such as “/log“, “/logger“, “/*telemetry“ or “/*collector“.
This enhancement reduces processing overhead and improves performance for telemetry-heavy websites. For configuration details, refer to the Resource File Changes section in the DG Agent for Windows 11.0.1 Release Notes, available at Fortra Support Portal.
-
Fixes
-
In earlier DG Agent versions (8.2, 9.4.x, and 10.1.0.0036), systems running with FIPS enabled failed to generate the encryption key required for Secure IOCTL. As a result, all Secure IOCTL calls returned ACCESS_DENY errors, which caused random application failures, including print failures on Windows 11. The agent also generated excessive Secure IOCTL log entries and corresponding OpAlerts in DGMC.
This issue is now resolved in version 11.0.1. When FIPS is enabled and the agent cannot generate the encryption key, the agent automatically disables Secure IOCTL enforcement and stops sending Secure IOCTL control messages to the system driver. This prevents application failures and eliminates unnecessary log and alert noise.
Secure IOCTL is automatically disabled only when FIPS mode is active and key generation fails. This behavior is controlled by the existing enableFIPS configuration setting.
-
Resolved an issue where File Extract events were not generated when users extracted ZIP files using the Windows “Extract All” option.
-
Added a configuration option to control the number of CPUs used by DGWIP. The default value is 1, with further performance enhancements planned.
-
Improved DGWIP performance by enhancing RSA key generation and management, resulting in faster webpage load times.
-
Resolved an issue that caused the DGAgent process to crash due to an unhandled exception.
-
Resolved an issue where directory control filtering did not work when the MIP integrated feature was disabled.
-
Resolved an issue where paste actions were blocked by a lower-priority rule, even when a higher-priority rule allowed the action.
For information on known issues in this or previous releases, see the Known Issues section of the DG Agent for Windows 11.0.1 Release Notes available at Fortra Support Portal.

New Features
-
Enhanced Offline RNA (Scanner) Notifications
-
The Scanner Offline notification is now enabled by default and has been refined to alert for only the internal RNAs you manage. Fortra‑managed external RNAs have been removed from this notification, helping reduce noise so you can stay focused on your own environment. We recommend keeping this notification turned ON so you can respond quickly if a scanner goes offline. You can update this setting anytime by navigating from the left navigation menu to Account > My Profile > Notifications.

Human Risk Management (prior Terranova Security)
Version: 1.125
March 26, 2026
Enhancements
-
An option to include users has been added to course widgets to define how user counts are calculated when multiple courses are selected. The option supports the addition of users that participated in all selected courses or users that participated in at least one selected course. This update applies to the Course Result, Course Performance, Course Completion, Course Progress, and Course Completion Over Time widgets.
-
Several course reports have been updated to improve how user totals are calculated when multiple courses are selected. A new total line has been added where applicable to correctly reflect users enrolled in all selected courses. These updates apply to Course Progress, Course Results, Course Details, and related status reports, providing more accurate and consistent totals across reports.
Fixes
-
An issue in the Course Progression widget caused the user totals to decrease when additional courses were added, and in some cases displayed a negative number for users who had not completed the courses. This issue has been fixed, and the widget now shows the correct user counts for completed and not completed courses.
-
An issue caused the Course Progress and Course Results widgets to display user counts even when no users met the selected criteria, leading to inconsistent data. This issue has been fixed, and the widgets now correctly display empty results and consistent counts when no users qualify.
Version: 1.124
March 12, 2026
Enhancements
-
Reports that list activities now include a new column displaying each activity’s alpha-numeric code, making it easier to identify and group activities.
-
Immediate Remediation email templates have been updated to support the Course URL tag, which is now available under the Tags option.
Fixes
-
Sending a Course Status by User report from the Email Center failed with an error, preventing managers from receiving the email. This happened regardless of the courses or columns included in the report. The issue has been fixed, and now reports can be sent successfully without errors.
-
A hidden link was visible and clickable in simulation emails when opened in older versions of Outlook, which led to an empty page and triggered false‑positive events. This issue has been fixed, and the link is no longer visible or clickable.
-
Embedded images did not display correctly in simulation emails sent via Outlook DMI, causing broken images or red X icons to appear. As a result, recipients could not view embedded images, while non‑embedded images continued to work and Gmail DMI was unaffected. This issue has been fixed, and embedded images now display correctly in Outlook DMI emails.
-
Content that was not available in the platform’s language could still be published and launched, causing users to encounter a page‑not‑found error when starting the course. This issue has been fixed, and content can no longer be published unless it is available in the platform’s language.
-
An issue caused the manager count to display as zero when sending progress report emails, even though the emails were successfully delivered to managers. This issue has been fixed, and the manager count now correctly reflects the number of managers associated with the selected course.
-
A typo in the Role section (FR‑FR) has been corrected.
-
A typo in the User Profile section (ES‑LATM) has been corrected.
There are currently no updates.
