Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Configuration via Security Exposure Management (SEM) Workspace:** Starting with version 30.0.x, OTVR configuration is integrated into the Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM) Workspace, streamlining vulnerability response configuration tasks. * **Operational Technology Risk Calculator:** You can now use the OT Risk Calculator plugin directly without loading demo data, simplifying risk assessments. * **Hardware Vulnerability Assessment Enhancements:** * Assessment capability for discovery models lacking normalized content. * Introduction of confidence scores for all assessment types. * Version range support using National Vulnerability Database (NVD) data without explicit Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) creation. * Partial assessments for partially normalized discovery models sharing publisher and model. * Expiration and regeneration of assessments when firmware versions on Configuration Items (CIs) update. * **Industrial Workspace Improvements:** * New "All" lists added for OT Vulnerable Items and OT Remediation Tasks, enabling comprehensive views of vulnerabilities and remediation efforts. Access requires appropriate user roles. * OT Vulnerability Exception Approvals list to track approval states directly within the workspace. * Dashboard Library icon added for easier access to OTVR dashboards, including the enhanced OTVR (PA) dashboard and OT Risk Management dashboard. * Site filters added to dashboards allow focused vulnerability and risk management by specific locations. * New Vulnerability Solutions section to view remediation solutions associated with vulnerable items. * Enhanced Overview tab on Vulnerable Items provides detailed state, risk rating, and associated vulnerability information. * **Dashboard Enhancements:** Centralized, enhanced dashboards aid in managing OT vulnerability data and visualizations, including risk score rollups at equipment model levels. ## Changes and Deprecations * **Feature Consolidation:** Vulnerability Response plugin consolidation under USEM Workspace from version 30.0.x onwards. * **Deprecations:** The OT Vulnerabilities tab on the OT Manager dashboard is removed starting Yokohama release. Additionally, integration with Microsoft Defender for IoT (On-premises Management Console) is hidden for new instances in preparation for future deprecation but remains supported. ## Activation and Requirements * Operational Technology Vulnerability Response is available for installation via the ServiceNow Store. Customers should request the plugin from the store and refer to the version history release notes for cumulative updates. * No additional browser or localization requirements have changed between Yokohama and Brazil releases. * No accessibility updates beyond the default Coral theme introduction in Zurich release, which provides a modern, brand-neutral user experience with dark mode options. ## Practical Takeaways for ServiceNow Customers * Prepare for the upgrade by reviewing pre- and post-upgrade tasks as no direct Brazil release updates apply but enhancements from Yokohama and Zurich are critical. * Leverage the SEM Workspace integration for streamlined OTVR configuration. * Utilize enhanced hardware vulnerability assessments to better understand risks in OT device firmware without needing fully normalized data. * Take advantage of the expanded visibility and management capabilities in the Industrial Workspace, including comprehensive lists and dashboard filters to tailor your vulnerability management by site. * Note deprecated features and plan accordingly, especially regarding dashboard tabs and integrations slated for future removal.
