A note about features...
Between our quarterly releases, only customers participating in the Early Access Program (EAP) will be able to see feature enhancements and additions, and only in their non-production environments.
The exceptions to this general approach are updates to the mobile apps, xMatters API enhancements, and features on the Admin and Developer tab which will be released into production between quarterly releases.
Customers participating in the EAP, or interested in the mobile app and API updates, can review feature descriptions in the Defender Development Highlights article.
