v21.7 Release Notes: Core

Storage Platform Console

1. This month, we implemented several measures to strengthen our security.

• We introduced a new minimum character length and complexity level for passwords for the Console and Agent, as well as for encryption keys.
• The Console will also no longer support the option to save connection passwords.
• We have built exponential backoff into the login process for the Console, which means that the waiting time between login attempts will increase with every failed attempt.
• We've made some security improvements to our APIs.
• On our infrastructure, we've replaced any weak cipher suites with stronger ones. We are proud to have an A+ rating from SSL Labs.
