JupiterOne Release Notes - September 2025

Executive Summary​

This release introduces a comprehensive user interface overhaul that modernizes navigation and accessibility, significantly improving user satisfaction and efficiency. Performance optimizations in the platform, including enhanced database indexing and load balancing, ensure faster response times and increased reliability. In the integrations area, critical bug fixes and enhancements expand data ingestion capabilities, while robust security updates bolster the protection of sensitive user information. Overall, this release is strategically designed to enhance operational efficiency, address user needs, and ensure a secure and seamless experience.

Application​

New Features​

  • EntityInspector Tagging Feature: The new tagging feature in EntityInspector allows users to categorize entities more effectively, facilitating enhanced searchability and organization of data. With this feature, users can apply multiple tags to a single entity, enabling them to filter and sort through large datasets quickly. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for users managing extensive inventories or complex relationships, as it streamlines the management of entities and improves overall productivity.

Enhancements​

  • UI Overhaul: The application has undergone a significant user interface (UI) overhaul, modernizing its design language to improve usability and accessibility. This upgrade includes the implementation of responsive design elements using CSS Grid and Flexbox, allowing for an optimized viewing experience across various devices. The changes enhance user navigation, reduce friction in common workflows, and lead to increased task completion rates, ultimately providing a more enjoyable user experience.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed Navigation Issues with Disabled Apps: Previously, users experienced navigation issues when attempting to access disabled applications within the platform. This fix resolves the issue by ensuring that users are directed appropriately even when attempting to interact with disabled functionalities. The resolution improves usability and reduces frustration, enhancing the overall user experience by maintaining consistent navigation paths.

  • Resolved Smart Class Query Page Unresponsiveness: Users reported that the Smart Class Query Page became unresponsive under certain conditions, hindering their ability to execute queries effectively. The underlying issue was identified as a bottleneck in the data handling process, which has now been optimized. By addressing this problem, users can now execute queries without interruption, leading to a smoother and more efficient querying experience.

Platform​

Performance Improvements​

  • S3 Streaming for Neo4J CDC Logs (J1DS): The implementation of S3 streaming for Change Data Capture (CDC) logs within Neo4J significantly enhances data processing capabilities. This optimization allows for real-time streaming of log data to Amazon S3, improving data availability and reduce latency. Users benefit from faster access to changes in their data, enabling them to make timely decisions based on the most current information.

Infrastructure​

  • Load Balancing Enhancements: New enhancements to the load balancing algorithm have been introduced to ensure an even distribution of server traffic. This improvement is vital during peak usage periods, where user experience can suffer due to high demand. The technical adjustment involves a combination of a sophisticated round-robin approach and real-time health checks of server performance, resulting in improved application responsiveness and reduced downtime.

Integrations​

New Integrations​

  • Azure IoT Hub Security Data Integration: The integration of Azure IoT Hub for security data ingestion expands the platform's capabilities significantly. This integration enables users to capture IoT device security logs, which are crucial for monitoring the security posture of IoT deployments. The configuration requires users to provide their Azure credentials and specify the types of data they wish to ingest, resulting in improved visibility and risk assessment of connected devices.

Integration Updates​

  • Enhanced Azure Integration: Our Azure integration has been updated to support the ingestion of additional IoT Hub security data formats. This enhancement broadens the compatibility of the integration, allowing users to connect seamlessly with a wider array of IoT devices and services. The updates include improvements to API endpoints to handle JSON, XML, and CSV formats, enabling users to leverage a more diverse set of data inputs for analysis and reporting.

Security Updates​

  • New Security Data Ingestion from Azure IoT Hub: The integration of security data ingestion from Azure IoT Hub enhances the platform's ability to detect and respond to potential threats. This capability allows users to analyze the security events generated by their IoT devices in real-time, improving their security posture. The implementation required updates to both the data ingestion pipeline and the associated security rules, ensuring that users can effectively monitor and respond to incidents.

  • User Authentication Improvements: The introduction of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all user accounts provides an additional layer of security during the login process. This enhancement is particularly critical for protecting user accounts against unauthorized access and potential data breaches. The implementation involved integrating with an external authentication service, allowing users to choose their preferred MFA method, thus enhancing flexibility while maintaining stringent security measures.

Breaking Changes​

Currently, there are no breaking changes in this release. However, users are encouraged to review the integration documentation for any updates regarding deprecated features in future releases.

Additional Notes​

  • Upcoming Deprecations: Users are advised to prepare for the upcoming deprecation of certain legacy API endpoints, scheduled for the next release. Detailed migration guides will be provided to assist in the transition.
  • Beta Features: We are currently testing several beta features aimed at improving user experience, including a new dashboard layout and enhanced reporting capabilities. Users interested in providing feedback are encouraged to participate in the beta program.

This release is designed to deliver substantial improvements in user experience, platform performance, and security, aligning with enterprise standards and user expectations. We appreciate your continued feedback and support as we strive to enhance JupiterOne further.
