Iru is continuously adding new...
Windows devices now show a list of Auto App and Custom App updates that haven't installed yet right from the new Iru system tray app. End users can install one update at a time or use Update all, closing open apps when needed to complete the install, and the list clears itself as installs succeed.
Google Cloud Platform is now available in the Iru Compliance connector catalog, replacing the previous coming-soon placeholder.
Connect the Google Cloud project you want Iru to monitor using a read-only service account and JSON key, and Iru collects configuration and inventory evidence across Google Cloud IAM, Cloud Storage, Cloud KMS, Cloud Logging,...
The Owner and Delegate filters on the Actions list within Compliance Automation now include an Unassigned option, so admins can find the actions nobody owns yet without scanning the table. This pairs with the separate Owner and Delegate columns added in May.
Automated evidence turns itself off on actions that need a signed document. Iru now recognizes the actions that only a person can satisfy — a signed policy or agreement, for example — and turns off automated evidence for them instead of running a collection pass that comes back with "no evidence found." The change is recorded in the action's activity...
A new way to work with Library Items in Iru AI: get a plain-language description of what the Windows Update Library Item does, a summary of how it's configured, and a breakdown of what users will experience.

When using the Rolling Enforcement option with Managed OS for Apple devices, it's now possible to specify an automatic delay (up to 90 days) that will prevent Iru from sending a new target version declaration to devices.
This delay embedded in Managed OS can be combined with Apple software update deferrals (configured in a Software Update Library Item) to...
Exclude specific users from a policy assignment. When publishing or updating a policy, admins can now exclude specific users from the assignment. This is useful when a policy applies broadly but has a handful of exceptions who shouldn't be asked to acknowledge it.
Admins and auditors can now re-include a user who was previously excluded from a policy...

Policy generation framework picker limited to available frameworks. The framework picker in the policy generation intake now only lists the frameworks a tenant is entitled to (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR by default), so admins never see options they can't actually generate against.
Choose a framework for policy generation intake. Admins can now select the...
Bulk Device Exclusion lets you exclude multiple devices from Vulnerability Management in a single action, and remove exclusions the same way. Excluding a device hides that device from all vulnerability views, detection counts, and alerts, which is useful for taking a machine temporarily out of scope, such as a device pending...

Type-to-confirm before deleting a framework.Deleting a framework now requires typing the framework's name into a...
The controls list on a framework now supports a "needs review" filter that surfaces only the controls whose actions still need admin attention, helping teams focus on the remaining work in a framework rollout.
Administrators can now enforce a specific Windows 11 feature version across their fleet using Managed OS Library Items. This gives you direct control over which build your Windows 11 computers run, so you can keep devices on a known-good version instead of relying on each computer to update on its own schedule.
Wildcard support in the EDR Library Item provides greater flexibility when managing allow and block lists.
This update introduces recursive wildcarding. Administrators can establish dynamic, broad-matching rules rather than specifying exact paths or filenames individually, streamlining configuration within the interface.

A new AD CS connector is now available for Iru tenants.
If you still use AD CS from a Kandji tenant, first upgrade your tenant to Iru, then install the new connector from your Iru tenant. During cutover, you can run the legacy and new connectors on different servers. You can reassign AD CS servers using Assign servers once the new server is approved, or...
Admins can now refresh the credentials of an already-enabled source directly from the source's row. There's no need to disconnect and reconnect the integration to rotate an expiring token.
Ask "explain this" and Iru AI already knows what you're looking at — no more describing context manually. When a request is ambiguous, Iru AI now asks a focused follow-up question instead of guessing, and a new thinking indicator shows when it's actively working on your answer.
This release includes miscellaneous bug fixes and performance improvements.
Specifically, this release brings further performance enhancements to application inventory collection for customers using Iru Endpoint but not Iru EDR.
File and Behavioral Detections are combined into a single view. This update includes a filter to isolate either file detections or behavioral detections. The Threat Status column is normalized to align consistently across both detection types.
Note, this update modifies solely the interface and does not alter underlying data.
Chat now pulls from Iru's knowledge base to answer technical questions, with a cleaner handoff to Support when it can't help. You can edit any message you've already sent and pick up the conversation from there.
