CANCELLED: Web Security Service Release Announcement

Update:

The Web Security Service Release maintenance window has been cancelled. We are working on an updated schedule and a new notification will be issued once a revised schedule is finalized.

Update

Correction: No action by UPE customers is necessary or recommended.

Symantec will perform a service-wide deployment of the Web Security Service (WSS) on August 12, 2022, starting at 21:00 UTC for a duration of 4 hours.

WSS Portal Updates

• Web Protection customers now have Cloud Firewall Standard functionality.
• Portal-generated Response Pages now display more accurate client addresses.
• Customers using Universal Policy Enforcement (UPE) should plan to replace the “client.address” variable with “client.effective_address” in Exception Page configurations at your earliest convenience.

Impact

• During the maintenance period, administrators might need to re-authenticate to the portal.
• Real-time traffic filtering will not be impacted by this maintenance.
• Active log download sessions may experience a brief disruption, which can be resolved by retrying the download.
• Expect intermittent portal availability and existing authenticated sessions to be ended.
• Customers using Management Center jobs to update UPE policy may see the connection terminated and re-established. During the maintenance period, UPE policy push will be unavailable. All previously configured policies will remain active.
