UI Improvements 

Supply Chain – Widget & View:

The Supply Chain table view is now available to all customers by default. It shows the list of digitally connected suppliers, as well as their proximity and the types of connections. To view business intelligence data and cyber hygiene resilience scores and details, customers must have an active Supply Chain subscription.  

Business Intelligence Risk Scores: 

Risk scores within Business Intelligence—specifically Geopolitical, Financial, and Compliance—now include descriptive context. 

This provides users with clearer insight into: 

• The meaning of each score  

• The confidence level of the underlying data  

Scan Workqueue – WHOIS Data:

Raw WHOIS data is now included in the Test Scan Workqueue table. 

This helps users: 

• Validate discovered domains  

• Determine whether associated results should be included in their dataset 

Discovery & Hygiene Indicator Updates: 

Indicators have been updated to align with the evolving Findings framework, improving how their impact is represented across different Thing Types and strengthening prioritisation accuracy. 

Smart Findings 

Following the introduction of Classic Findings in version 6.3, version 6.5 introduces Smart Findings. 

Smart Findings: 

• Leverage AI agents to analyse file and script contents  

• Surface cyber hygiene issues embedded in unstructured data  

• Provide deeper, context-aware insights  

This enhances detection capabilities beyond traditional scanning methods. 

Improved Software Component Detection 

Detection capabilities have been expanded to improve visibility into third-party dependencies and software posture. 

Enhancements Include: 

• Detection of libraries and plugins commonly bundled within WordPress themes and plugins  

• Identification of version banners and signature strings in Axios, JS and CSS assets  

These improvements: 

• Strengthen dependency inventory accuracy  

• Improve identification of outdated components  

• Enhance “old components” posture scoring with high-confidence evidence
