Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Custom API Service Graph Connector with Generative AI:** Starting in Zurich, SPC introduces a Connector builder framework within the SPC workspace that enables developers to create custom API connectors efficiently. These connectors integrate security tools and import asset data tailored to unique environments. The process is enhanced by a Now Assist skill leveraging generative AI to automate tasks such as selecting API templates and mapping request/response fields. This feature requires installation of Zurich Patch 4 for the ServiceNow Otto for Unified Security Exposure Management application. * **Enhanced Policies and Asset Profiles:** New policies and asset profiles enable deeper insights into security posture and configuration gaps across various security tools, including CrowdStrike, Microsoft Intune, Defender, SCCM, HCL Big Fix, SentinelOne, Qualys, and Rapid7. Activating these profiles and policies within the SPC workspace helps identify coverage gaps and compliance issues. * **Coral Theme and Dark Mode:** The Australia release introduces Coral as the default theme for portals, web, and mobile experiences, offering a fresh, brand-neutral interface. A dark theme option is also available to improve readability and reduce eye strain. ## Important Upgrade Information * Before upgrading to Australia, review and complete pre- and post-upgrade tasks for Security Posture Control as outlined. * Since Zurich Patch 12, Now Assist for Vulnerability Response is being deprecated and renamed as ServiceNow Otto for Unified Security Exposure Management. It will no longer be installed on new instances but remains supported. * Security Posture Control depends on service graph connector data populated in the CMDB 360 Data table, which requires the system property `glide.identificationengine.multisourceenabled` to be set to true by users with the `cmdbmsadmin` role. * Labels in the mitigation control details have been refined for clarity, improving the user interface by expanding abbreviations (e.g., "EDR" to "Endpoint Protection"). ## Activation and Additional Notes * SPC is available via the ServiceNow Store. Customers should request the required applications there to activate the product. * No removals or deprecations specific to Security Posture Control occurred between Zurich and Australia beyond the noted Now Assist for Vulnerability Response change. * No additional browser or localization requirements were introduced in these releases. * The new Coral theme enhances accessibility by including a dark mode option for web and mobile users. ## What Customers Can Expect By upgrading to Australia, ServiceNow customers benefit from enhanced automation capabilities in API connector creation using generative AI, expanded security posture insights through new policies and asset profiles, and an improved user experience with updated themes and interface clarity. These improvements empower cybersecurity teams to better monitor, assess, and manage security tool coverage and configuration gaps, thereby strengthening the organization's overall security posture.
