Changes

Between your current release family and Australia, some changes were made to existing Security Posture Control features.

Release	Release notes
Zurich	Security Posture Control relies on data from service graph connectors that is populated in the CMDB 360 Data [cmdb_multisource_data] table. This data is populated only when the glide.identification_engine.multisource_enabled system property is set to true. You must have the cmdb_ms_admin role to modify property values. To set the property, navigate to All > Configuration > CMDB 360 Properties. The labels on the form view for the mitigation control details record associated with vulnerable item records (VITs) have been enhanced for more clarity. These updates make the interface more user-friendly by expanding abbreviations on the form view, such as changing "EDR" to "Endpoint Protection."
