The first SVR update of the year 2023 is live now; it's a day late to be called our "January" release, but we are planning another update in February, so forgive the one-day discrepancy 😉
Major improvements to the software suggestion process and some minor product enhancements have been introduced with this update.
Add Multiple Email Addresses While Suggesting Software
You can now add multiple email addresses when suggesting software to be added to SVR. You may optionally include additional team members in the request when suggesting software. Upon completion of your request, an email confirmation will be sent to all email addresses specified, which can improve internal communications by reducing time spent alerting other stakeholders as to the status of software suggestion requests.
Updated Process for Software Suggestions
In our ongoing efforts to improve response times and increase the value of your investment, we have implemented a new backend process for managing incoming software suggestions. This is part of the continuous improvements we have been making to the software suggestion functionality over the last couple of quarters. The new process significantly improves the way we track the software suggestions thus helping us manage the requests more efficiently. Building on this work, we are to expose estimated response times based on actual activity and backlog load to set realistic expectations for software suggestions in the future.
As a reminder, software suggestion guidelines may be found here.
Improved Advisory Search
A problem addressing searches with several keywords has been addressed. While searching Secunia Advisories using a long text as a keyword would sometimes not returned any results due to backend timeouts. This issue has been resolved with this release.
