Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Description

After October 31, 2024, Cisco Secure Endpoint will migrate the policy signing mechanism from SHA-1 to SHA-256. This changes the algorithm the Secure Endpoint connectors use to verify the authenticity of the policy settings.

Customer Impact

The following versions of Secure Endpoint connectors will lose the ability to upgrade Policy and perform Console Management after October 31, 2024:

Windows connector version 6.3.7 and older (released before October 2019)
Mac/Linux connector versions 1.3.1 and older (released before July 2017)

Recommended Action

To maintain manageability within the Console and to ensure the Secure Endpoint Policy upgrade proceeds smoothly, please upgrade existing connectors to versions that are newer than those affected. We recommend updating to the latest available version of Secure Endpoints before October 31, 2024.
