LUCY Security releases Version 4.8.4

Press Release

LUCY Release 4.8.4 brings PDF based Phishing Simulations, Asian character sets, enhanced click reporting and much more!

Zug/Switzerland, Jan-1st-2022 – LUCY Security, one of the largest providers of IT security awareness training with over 14,000 installations worldwide and over 27 million trained users, released its latest version of the LUCY Cybersecurity Awareness Platform. The LUCY Security Platform 4.8.4 is now available for download and upgrade.

New features at a glance

With version 4.8.4 it is now possible again to run phishing simulations with PDF attachments and users’ file downloads can be measured individually. Burmese, Chinese Cantonese and Vietnamese charsets are now supported for training and attack simulations. Also new is the ability to display all attack simulation link clicks and export them for further analysis, so that firewall or antivirus activity can be statistically delineated in reporting.

Furthermore, the following improvements have been rolled out:

  • Automatic training updates of the LMS portal and user statistics (auto-refresh).
  • Creation of a diploma immediately after passing the training
  • New field ‘Quiz passed on’ in the campaign statistics
  • Additional columns in the Campaign Result Export to distinguish between quiz and non-quiz trainings
  • The ‘Overall Recipient’ statistics now have a sorting function
  • Most of the report data is now also available via API
  • Automatic selection of the language in the End-User Portal based on Recipient’s language
  • Training status in the list of available trainings in the End-User Portal

As usual several bugs have been fixed. The following fixes are worth mentioning:

  • LMS: Statistics calculation in the End-User Portal
  • Global Link availability in stopped campaigns
  • Let’s Encrypt autorenewal for sub-domains
  • Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates for Docker installations
  • Template download issues
  • Reporting: Per cent of completed trainings for awareness-only campaigns
  • Reporting: Unnecessary statistics based on custom comment fields
  • Reporting: Risk distribution by Location
  • and much more.

Important Service Information – Outlook on the next LUCY Release

The next release after LUCY V4.8.4 will require a new installation. Commercial customers will be migrated free of charge by our support team.

Why is a migration necessary? Because the Linux operating system underlying the LUCY system is being switched from Debian to Ubuntu. The reason for the migration to Ubuntu is that Debian will stop supporting the Debian Linux version 9 currently used by LUCY in June 2022. This means that security updates will no longer be available after that date. Switching to Ubuntu increases investment protection and security because it offers up to 10 years of support (security updates).

Our support team is expected to contact all commercial customers starting February 2022 so that the migration can be planned together early. For further queries, support can be contacted directly at any time.

The LUCY Security Software Solution

LUCY Security provides companies with a standard software to test employees by means of attack simulations. They can also use malware simulations to test the company-wide infrastructure and hundreds of training templates to train employees on information security issues. The results of the various tests can be continuously checked with the platform and finally enriched with reporting functions. This motivates employees to develop a comprehensive understanding of security and to implement it confidently. Cloud or an on-premise installation is possible. You can find the complete function overview here.

Price and availability

The new version of LUCY Security Cybersecurity Awareness Platform 4.8.4 is available via this download: https://lucysecurity.com/download/. All commercial editions of LUCY Security are listed in this price list.
