It summarizes new features, changes, and important upgrade considerations across the releases to help you prepare effectively for the transition. Show full answer Show less The document highlights enhancements primarily introduced in Zurich, with no new updates or removals in the Australia release. It also provides activation instructions, upgrade prerequisites, and user interface enhancements relevant to SPC. ## Key Features Introduced (Zurich Release) * **Custom API Service Graph Connector:** Developers can now create custom API connectors within the SPC workspace using the Connector builder framework module. This process can be accelerated with generative AI assistance (Now Assist skill) to automate selecting API templates, populating request/header parameters, and mapping response fields. * **Integration and Asset Data Import:** The custom connectors enable integration with various security tools to import asset data tailored to your environment's unique needs, helping cybersecurity teams monitor the overall security posture and identify assets lacking critical security tools. * **Enhanced Policies and Asset Profiles:** New policies and asset profiles are available to provide insights into security posture and configuration gaps across multiple security tools including CrowdStrike, Microsoft Intune, Defender, SCCM, HCL Big Fix, SentinelOne, Qualys, and Rapid7. Activating these within the SPC workspace helps identify coverage or configuration gaps efficiently. ## Important Changes and Enhancements * **CMDB Data Dependency:** SPC relies on data populated in the CMDB 360 Data \[cmdbmultisourcedata\] table, which requires enabling the `glide.identificationengine.multisourceenabled` system property and proper administrative roles (cmdbmsadmin) to modify. * **User Interface Improvements:** The labels in mitigation control details for vulnerable items have been enhanced for clarity by expanding abbreviations (e.g., "EDR" changed to "Endpoint Protection"). * **Coral Theme Introduction:** Coral is the new default theme for portal, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled. It offers a modern, brand-neutral design with an optional dark theme to improve readability and reduce eye strain. ## Deprecation and Removed Features There are no removals or deprecations specific to Security Posture Control features during this upgrade from Zurich to Australia. However, note that starting with Zurich Patch 12, Now Assist for Vulnerability Response is prepared for future deprecation and will be hidden in new instances but remains supported. ## Activation and Upgrade Guidance * Security Posture Control is available through the ServiceNow Store. Installation requires requesting the necessary applications from the store. * Prior to upgrading, review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks to ensure a smooth transition. * Access to generative AI features for the Connector builder requires installing Zurich Patch 4 of the ServiceNow Otto for Unified Security Exposure Management application. ## Additional Considerations * No new browser or localization requirements were introduced between Zurich and Australia. * Accessibility improvements include the dark theme option as part of the Coral theme to enhance usability. ## What to Expect After Upgrading By upgrading to Australia, you maintain access to the enhanced API connector capabilities and security posture insights introduced in Zurich, along with improved UI clarity and a refreshed user experience via the Coral theme. No feature removals or functional changes are expected beyond those noted in Zurich. This ensures continuity while enabling more efficient security tool integrations and posture management.
