PlainID Platform - April 2024 Release
The April 2024 version release of the Platform includes new features, product enhancements, UI/UX updates, and bug fixes.
What’s New?
Policy Building Blocks
Introducing Management APIs for Policy Building Blocks, which are designed to enhance management capabilities within your organization. Users can perform bulk operation tasks such as exporting, importing, or deleting multiple building blocks simultaneously, optimizing workflow efficiency. Key features include:
Seamless Application Onboarding: Developers can import their own building blocks, facilitating onboarding to the Platform.
Flexible CRUD Operations: Users have the ability to effortlessly manage building blocks, including their associated Rulesets, ensuring adaptability to evolving requirements.
Advanced Filtering Options: Users can apply filters based on various criteria, enabling efficient management across diverse contexts.
PDP Asset Context Enhancement
The Asset Context capability is designed to support a variety of use-cases and allows for a more granular and precise Access Decision process. Considering the assetContext parameter in the PDP allows for fine-grained control over Access based on specific Assets. This level of granularity ensures that Access Decisions are tailored to the specific context of the Asset, leading to improved security and data protection.
Zscaler Private Access 
(ZPA) Authorizer
This feature simplifies the adoption and distribution of Access Policies across businesses at scale with minimal effort. The result is enhanced business agility and reduced operational expenses. Key features include:
Streamlined Access to Endpoints: Centralize and automate Policy management to reduce manual efforts required to enforce policies across ZPA and the ecosystem.
Reduced security gaps: Ensure Policies are consistently applied across the enterprise with a Policy-based Access Control (PBAC) framework.
Visibility & Monitoring: Track Policies from a single dashboard that provides reports and alerts to inform administrators of Policy changes.
Adaptive Response to Evolving Requirements: Facilitate quick updates and adjustments to keep up with evolving business needs, security threats, or regulatory changes for compliance.
