SoftActivity Monitor on-premise version 15

SoftActivity Monitor version 15.0 is now available.

Version 15.0 is a major release with important security improvements, a new External Agent mode for remote monitoring without a VPN, database upgrades, and multiple performance and usability enhancements. If you are using an earlier version, we recommend upgrading to get the latest updates.

Changes in version 15.0

• Major security hardening:
  • Improved security for Monitor and Agent communications, permissions, agent services, privileged operations, and password policies.
• New External Agent mode (Preview) for monitoring remote company computers without requiring a VPN:
  • Built on the widely trusted WireGuard technology.
  • Remote agents connect to your Monitor endpoint over a secure, encrypted tunnel.
  • Monitor company computers used from home, while traveling, or in branch offices, not just devices on the local network.
  • Works well in Microsoft 365 environments and does not require the Monitor server to resolve remote client DNS names, or connect to them.
  • No firewall or NAT changes are needed on the remote user’s network.
  • The Monitor endpoint can be hosted on your network or in the cloud.
  • External Agent mode is supported only on company-owned, IT-managed Windows devices that are joined to the organization’s AD domain or Entra tenant.
    • Personal devices (BYOD) are not supported by External mode.
  • Turn it on in Options – External Agents tab. Try it and send us your feedback.
