Product Update 4.10.2.0 - March 13, 2023

If you're on a Mandiant Security Validation (MSV) release prior to 4.12.1.0, you may notice that a license expired watermark appears on the Network Map page on your Director.

Network Map Page with License Expired Watermark on an MSV Director

This watermark is related to the software that renders the Network Map and does not affect functionality of the product.

Use one of the following options to fix the watermark issue permanently:

  • Update to the latest release (4.12.1.0 or later) or migrate to Mandiant Advantage Security Validation (MA-SV).
  • As an additional option, you can upgrade to release 4.12.0.1, which provides a fix for this issue and if you need more time to complete the update to 4.12.1.0 or later.

MSV 4.10.2.2 contains defect resolutions and a critical security fix. We recommend you apply that update as soon as reasonably possible. If you're unable to upgrade at this time, use the instructions in Manage User Admin Account to either set a password for the account or disable the account if it's not being used.

The Mandiant Security Validation (MSV) team is pleased to announce version 4.10.2.0 of the MSV platform.
