New features This release of Endpoint Intelligence Agent includes the following new features and enhancements: Platform support McAfee EIA is now supported on Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 (2012 and 2012 R2 64-bit Enterprise edition) operating systems. The abort command used by McAfee EIA installer is not supported on these platforms. If McAfee EIA installer has to abort, the installation or uninstallation of McAfee EIA fails. Trust information and trust value expiry time McAfee EIA receives notification whenever an executable initiates traffic. Endpoint Intelligence Agent uses the public key of the executable signer and SHA1 of the public key to look up the cache to compute trust information. If available, the trust details are sent as part of the metadata to the supported network devices. If the trust information is not available, McAfee EIA consolidates the missing SHA1s for executables and DLLs and requests supported network device for trust details so that it can send trust information for follow-on traffic from the same executable. The trust values are good or unknown for an executable. When trust value of a particular SHA1 expires, a request is sent to NTBA to revalidate the trust value. Integration with McAfee Improvement Program (PIP) McAfee Improvement Program (formerly Telemetry) collects the data from the client systems where epo-managed McAfeeproducts are installed. The data collected by Improvement Program is used by McAfee to improve the overall user experience, provide better-performing product features, and perform proactive data collection for faster troubleshooting of customer issues. You can install McAfee Improvement Program when installing the McAfee epo 5.0 and later and McAfee Agent 4.8 and later. The collected data is aggregated on the McAfee epo server and sent to the McAfee Improvement Program server once a day (default collection period) and stored at \TelemetryData. The collected data is filtered to remove any personally identifiable information. Open SSL upgrade McAfee EIA now supports OpenSSL version 1.0.1f. Improved Log Collector 2
A time stamp is appended to each CAB file so that you can track all the collected logs in the format EiaDiagnosisLogs_<month_date_hour_minutes>.CAB, for example, EiaDiagnosisLogs_Mar_18_11_08.CAB.
