Release Date:  November 25, 2024


Improvements:

  • Silo Translate
    • Added Dynamic Translation: website content is now translated as it is accessed. This speeds up translation and ensures that all content is translated — even when text is added to a page after it is initially loaded
  • Log Encryption
    • To make it easier to enroll and use log encryption, Silo now supports the widely-used ECIES AES-256 encryption algorithm
    • ECIES AES-256 will be the default and only encryption option available to organizations that do not currently encrypt logs
    • Organizations that already encrypt their logs may select the new algorithm in Admin Console > Policies > Advanced > Log Encryption
  • Logging
    • To improve the readability of URL logs during audits, webpage title has been added as a field to URL logs
    • Silo for Research sessions previously logged as “toolbox-ruby” in the session_type column are now tracked as “Toolbox Chromium” in URL logs for consistency and to improve clarity
  • Admin Console
    • A new API command has been added to allow users to be promoted to admins programmatically
  • Traffic management in Silo has been improved to prevent site access issues before they occur
  • Silo for Research fingerprints have been refined to improve the verisimilitude of the spoofed browser and platform to visited websites
  • Pendo Integration With Silo
    • Enables future Pendo.io integration into Silo to provide in-browser user guides and capture analytics on user interactions with Silo service components. In addition to enhancing the user experience with in-app guides directly within the Silo browser, this integration enables analytics to ensure the service is performing reliably, assist with the prioritization of component maintenance, and guide future improvements.
    • User information collected includes pseudonymized data related to behavioral usage patterns, which cannot be directly tied to an individual user.
    • Data processing is conducted within the United States
    • Pendo integration is essential for improving user experience within the Silo browser by providing actionable insights into user interactions and providing targeted in-browser guides to support efficient navigation and usability
