Release Notes

15th November 2022 : Version 4.11.1.5

New Feature for Faster Searches on Vaultastic Open Store

The Vaultastic Open store typically stores compressed packages of email (PST or EML files) and file data (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.). When you ingest this data on the Open store using LegacyFlo, a content-list (in a CSV) is also associated with each package (data) file to enlist the package contents with crucial information.

E.g., john_july_2022_data.zip will have an associated content-list called john_july_2022_data.csv.

Until now, your IT team had to locate the package (zip/pst) file and its associated content-list (CSV) to find any email or a specific file. They had to download the CSV file, open it using a spreadsheet, and search for information using the attributes (mail and file attributes like from, to, date, subject, file name, etc.).

This multi-step search is now made much easier by giving a new tool in the Open Store application to view the contents of a package file directly in the interface, where you can browse and search for the required information.

Locate the CSV file corresponding to the package (zip/pst file) of interest to access this tool and click on the "eye" icon. This action will pop up a window in which you will be able to see the content list and also search through it.

15th Oct 2022: Version 4.11.0.5

Improvement

The eDiscovery application has been updated to ensure that the search will show more results on a single page. This helps users browse the results quickly, decreasing the overall time spent in searching for data on the Active Store.

30th Sep 2022 : Version 4.11.0.4

Improvement

The system now has a dedicated queue to handle customer requests for the export of data, significantly reducing the lead time to start execution of the requests, resulting in a better experience for the end users.

13th September 2022 : Version 4.11.0.3

New Feature to enhance security

One of the ways to directly upload or download files from the Vaultastic Inactive Store is to use a third-party tool such as S3Browser. To use this, you require the credentials of the bucket and folder on which your domain's Inactive Store is hosted.

Vaultastic now provides a secure way to get these credentials. Simply login to the Inactive Store App, activate and download secure access for the selected domain.

You can also revoke the access by using the Deactivate feature

10th September 2022 : Version 4.11.0.2

New Feature

A critical security feature of Vaultastic is the audit trails maintained on the key applications of Vaultastic. The system maintains logs that record all the operations performed by authenticated users who manipulate or access data in Vaultastic.

We are happy to introduce the first dashboard in a series of dashboards that will make this information available to you.

In this release, we have introduced the Vaultastic Inactive Store Audit Trail dashboard which will list all the delete and download operations performed by any authenticated user on a particular day. The dashboard will display critical data such as the user who performed the operation, the name of the file, and the timestamp.

Enhancements

The admin roles in Vaultastic have been updated. The vaultastic senior admin can download or delete files from the Inactive Store. The junior admin can only download files. Delete operation is disabled for a junior admin.

17th August 2022: Version 4.11.0.1

New Feature

Vaultastic uses LegacyFlo for the following:

Storage Management Automation - to copy data from Active Sore to the Inactive Store, and to remove Active data which has been copied to the Inactive Store
Remove data from the Active Store for vaults that have been deleted
Full fill end user export requests from the Active Store

As a Vaultastic Domain Administrator, you can use the LegacyFlo Requests Dashboard to check the status of these requests without having to login to the LegacyFlo application.

Deprecated features

To improve the security and the tracability of email flow, the email features of reply, reply all, forward and 'forward as attachment', have been removed from the eDiscovery Application that allows users to search for and operate on data in the Active Store.

The corresponding security settings in the Admin Panel used to manage the vaults on the Active Store have also been removed.

05th July 2022: Version 4.10.0.0

Improvements

A Captcha has been added to the default login form and to the user ID validation page in forgot password to improve security.
The Saved or advanced query search dialog box which allows a user of the eDiscovery interface to narrow down the search has been improved as follows:
- The addition of an Email id field allows a user to search for all mail (sent and received by a user) eliminating the need to fire two different searches for the email id as a sender and the email id as a recipient.
- The default date range for the advance search has been set to 1 year.
- By default, any keywords are searched in the subject and body and this is highlighted on entering or editing keywords.
The quick keyword search accessible from the eDiscovery interface will now search for the keywords entered in the sender, recipient, subject, body and attachment names.
The queries fired on user search have been optimized for higher performance.

Bug Fixes

Fixed Display mail issue due to special characters in mail folder.

Deprecated features

The usage dashboard shows the day-wise storage usage. The feature to give the details of each vault on that particular date has been deprecated to improve the overall performance of the system.

19th April 2022: Version 4.9.0.0

New features

Ediscovery search - The quick and powerful search of the eDiscovery app, sometimes gave extra results as it quickly scanned the subject and the body for the keywords. Users can now narrow down the keyword search scope to include Subject, Body, or Attachment names, leading to smaller result sets for quicker action.

Security Enhancements

The Vaultastic applications now have enhanced security features to protect from data deletion. The Inactive Store App is accessible to both Senior and Junior admins. However, only users with the Senior Admin role can now delete files from Inactive Store using the Inactive Store App.

10th February 2022: Version 4.8.0.0

Improvements

The Vaultastic applications now have enhanced security features to protect from MITM attacks.

13th January 2022: Version 4.7.0.0

Improvements

On deleting vaults from the Active Store using the Admin Panel, the storage associated with the Vault is automatically de-linked and deleted if no other vault refers to the same storage. This leads to simpler operations for the Vaultastic Admin.

06th January 2022: Version 4.6.0.0

New Features

Ensure compliance management with Vaultastic

Organizations need to manage the risk related to information leakage and ensure regulatory compliance about supervision and reporting of email communications:

Regular proactive audits of email communication are crucial to mitigating conduct, reputational, and financial risks.

To ensure compliance, organizations often need the help of external experts, auditors, and enforcement agencies to review potential policy violations and decide the course of action.

Vaultastic v4.6.0.0 integrates Ideolve, a team collaboration tool that can help you share critical and classified email information with external people while maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the data.

This integration also enables you to manage the compliance loop from flagging (possible) violations to reviewing the objectionable content to discussing a way forward and finally resolving the breach.
