Alongside the enhancements to the Subscription Management page and additional subscription information within the platform, we are excited to announce that many existing subscriptions will gain additional features and functionality at no additional cost. While some existing packages contained these additional features, we are extending these capabilities to existing packages that may have previously lacked the functionality. These upgrades will occur automatically and will not affect your subscription length, terms of service, or access to other features that your subscription already has enabled. For information regarding the gained functionalities with these upgrades, please see the chart below:

Note: An account must be fully updated to the 10-series platform version, including all cloud gateways, reporting, and browser isolation nodes, to receive access to the new functionality added to your subscription.

The iboss Zero Trust Secure Access Service Edge 10-series cloud update is scheduled to release on October 5th, 2022. For more information regarding iboss Zero Trust SASE packaging and subscriptions, please visit https://www.iboss.com/pricing/.
