It provides a comprehensive summary of new features, changes, deprecations, and activation details relevant to SPC across these release families. The guide highlights important pre- and post-upgrade tasks and outlines enhancements in API integration, policy management, and user experience. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Custom API Service Graph Connectors with Generative AI:** Starting with Yokohama Patch 11 and Zurich Patch 4, developers can use the Connector builder framework in the SPC workspace to create custom API connectors. This process is enhanced by a Now Assist skill (part of ServiceNow Otto for Unified Security Exposure Management) which automates selecting API templates, populating parameters, and mapping responses with generative AI. These connectors enable integration with security tools and tailored import of asset data to improve cybersecurity monitoring. * **Enhanced Policies and Asset Profiles:** New policies and asset profiles help identify configuration gaps and monitor overall security posture. These pre-built profiles cover major security tools such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft Intune, Defender, SCCM, HCL BigFix, SentinelOne, Qualys, Rapid7, and Netskope. Activating these profiles in SPC workspace aids in detecting missing or misconfigured security tools on assets. * **SentinelOne Integration:** Improved integration allows importing mitigation controls data from SentinelOne to monitor security coverage and tool deployment on enterprise assets effectively. * **Coral Theme and Dark Mode:** The new Coral theme is the default UI for portals, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled, providing a fresh, brand-neutral look. A dark theme option is also available to reduce eye strain and enhance readability. ## Important Upgrade and Activation Information * Before upgrading to Australia, review pre- and post-upgrade tasks carefully to ensure smooth transition. * ServiceNow Otto for Vulnerability Response is being deprecated starting Zurich Patch 12; it is now renamed and integrated as part of ServiceNow Otto for Unified Security Exposure Management. * Security Posture Control must be installed and activated by requesting the required applications via the ServiceNow Store. * System property `glide.identificationengine.multisourceenabled` must be set to true to enable SPC reliance on service graph connector data from the CMDB 360 Data table. This requires the `cmdbmsadmin` role. ## Changes and Enhancements * Labels in mitigation control details associated with vulnerable items have been clarified for better usability, expanding abbreviations such as "EDR" to "Endpoint Protection." * Coral theme introduced as the default for new user experiences, enhancing the UI consistency and user satisfaction. ## Deprecations and Removals No Security Posture Control features or functionality were deprecated or removed between Yokohama, Zurich, and Australia releases. ## Additional Considerations * No new browser or localization requirements were introduced in these releases. * Accessibility improvements include the dark theme option available in the Coral theme to assist users with visual preferences or needs. ## What Customers Can Expect Upgrading to the Australia release family will enable customers to leverage powerful AI-assisted API connector creation, improving integration with diverse security tools and enhancing overall asset security posture visibility. Enhanced policies and asset profiles enable proactive identification of security gaps, while UI improvements facilitate a modernized and accessible user experience. Customers should plan upgrades carefully, activate required applications via the ServiceNow Store, and configure system properties properly to maximize SPC capabilities.
