Good news, everyone! 
Today we shipped another iteration of Outpost 6.7 solutions - 6.7.3.
With this release Agnitum introduces daily updates of Outpost installation packages. What we mean is regular incorporation of new malware and rule databases into Outpost. During the workday, these bases come embedded into the installation package and downloadable from the web-site.
It is the result of new internal automation processes in Agnitum’s R&D implemented since 6.7.2 edition.
This tweak brings great savings for customers who won’t have to waste time and Internet traffic to constantly download updated bases. A good advantage over competitors who tend to bloat their installation packages up to 150% of the original volume just for that reason.
To sum up, the improvements ensure:
- increased frequency of malware database updates: updates are now delivered three times a day (minimum) on weekdays
- Anti-Malware engine now gets auto-updated through regular malware database updates, meaning that for receiving new features and fixes no separate product update is needed
