Knox Guard 22.03 release notes

Improvements to device lock based on IMSI change

A new IMSI Lock menu is available under the SIM control page. This feature allows customers to enable or disable IMSI policies regardless of whether MCC/MNC information is provided. This feature is implemented in the case where the IMSI is changed after a different SIM card is inserted into the device.

Knox Guard console dashboard improvements

The Knox Guard dashboard now includes more granular device state information to provide device details at a glance.

For Normal devices:

1. A new Offline locked device state is available in the Attention section.
2. Click Offline locked from the dashboard to see a list of devices with that status.

For Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) devices:

1. The following statuses are listed for each device:

   • Attention — Active | Locked

   • In progress — Activating, Resetting, Completing

2. Next to each status, the number of devices with that status is displayed.

   

   

Updates to Knox Guard menu labels

To support more use cases, the menu labels on the Knox Guard portal now use more general terms. For example, Default lock screen now displays as Lock screen.

Bulk customization notifications

Customers can now send messages to device users both individually and in bulk. Messages can be customized to display a different message per device. This feature is also available through an API operation — /kcs/v1.1/kg/devices/customMessageAsync.

Device lock and wipe

For missing or stolen devices, IT admins can lock and wipe the contents of the device through Actions > Wipe out. The device wipes as soon as it connects to a server. This action is irreversible.
