Enhancements in Identity and Access Management Application

• Customers entitled to direct Security Operations Command Center (SOCC) support will see a new tab, SOCC, as part of their user profile screen. Use the SOCC tab to set passphrase as an alternative authentication method to access the Akamai SOCC. This is useful when the standard best practice of performing a call back authentication does not align with your operational workflow.
• In addition to using the SOCC tab, customers can use SMS text as another way to receive notifications from the Security Operations Command Center in cases of emergency.

Use Suspicious Login Detection to detect any suspicious or unusual account access attempts. This feature also checks IP Whitelist to notify you whenever your credentials are used from IPs not certified by your organization.

IMPORTANT: This feature uses browser cookies, deleting them or using private browser sessions will trigger false positive results.

• Better navigation flows.
• Modern design to support test drill downs and ensure that the context of the workflow is tracked.
• Support for modal on modals to preserve the user’s previous context, allow deep linkable screens, and share results and other information more efficiently.
• New section with a list of all test runs to make the UX more effective and relevant.
• New dashboard on the landing page with educational content about Test Center.
• Integrated feedback link to provide instant feedback to the product team.
• Test Center activities are now integrated in the Your Activity section of the new home page.
• Improved application performance.
• Various stability improvements and bug fixes.

Recurring Reports in Billing Center are migrating off legacy systems by June 1, 2019. All recurring reports marked in Billing Center as Legacy can’t be migrated as a result of problems with user permissions, exceeded limits, or suspensions. These reports will be deleted by that date. To correct the issues and continue receiving the reports, you need to re-create them.

Enhancements in Identity and Access Management Application

• If your account does not have a password policy set in the Settings tab, new users are now created with a 90-day password expiration policy instead of a 180-day expiration policy. Existing users will not be impacted by this change. It is highly encouraged that your account admins go to the Settings tab in Identity and Access Management app and set a password policy for the account.
• You can now enable or disable tracking cookies on the User Settings page.
• There are a few performance improvements and bug fixes.

The latest update for the case management release includes the following enhancements to the Case Management v2 API:

• List cases operation now returns a severity member in the response body.
• Two additional service and support levels are now supported: Plus and Advanced.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve your reporting experience, we’re pleased to announce that the following traffic reports are now available in Control Center:

• Traffic

• Traffic by Geography

• Traffic by Browser & OS

• URL Traffic

• URL Responses

• Unique Visitors

• Daily Unique Visitors

• Page Views

You can access the reports via Monitor > Reporting in Control Center and under ‘Traffic Reports’ in the new Control Center.

These new reports offer a modern and personalized interface into your most important metrics and KPI’s for your delivery products. All of these reports also go paired with RESTful API access, the endpoints for which were announced in a separate release note on 24 January.

To provide better consistency between the data provided via Control Center and our RESTful API and Scheduled Reports interfaces, we’re introducing some changes to the format and composition of the data sent as part of your existing Recurring Reports. Please refer to the Scheduled Report Migration announcement for details.

For a detailed overview of where to find widgets in our new reports, as well as a format comparison for the scheduled reports, please refer to our Reporting Migration Guide.
