On-Site, Off-Site, Online.
We've had our first official CyberDrain onsite last week and boy it was a blast! during the onsite we had some amazing brainstorming sessions, some great talks and fantastic steaks under the enjoyment of a drink or two. Our team got together and had so many brilliant ideas that we implemented in this new release.
So let's get to it.
Putting your money where your mouth is.
We've all seen the claims of software manufactures that proudly say they are supporters of the MSP community, or that they are supporters of OSS and free tools, but they never put their money where there mouth is. It's like these vendors should have a little asterisk next to their name *(Only community oriented when you empty your wallet with us).
So, instead of following suit with our newest endeavors, we've made sure to actually support our community. We've contacted @IntuneAdmin who builds CIS Intune Policy templates for everyone to use, and made sure he got rewarded for his efforts by paying him a fee to create all the Intune CIS Policies for us. This means that implementing CIS just became a whole lot easier, whether you are a CIPP user or not.
You can find the completely open source and community repo at https://github.com/CyberDrain/CISTemplates. Also check out Jan's own repositories for even more cool templates!

Interface polish
The interface has received a bunch of new polish; our table no longer uses icon buttons, as Google in their Material redesign has said these are "hieroglyphics" and bad for usability. This also comes with the added benefit that the table looks a bit prettier.
We've also improved filtering and the ability to keep filters when browsing between pages, to enable that you'll have to set the checkbox in your settings and away you go.

Tag you're it.
Intune Policy management has gotten a lot of attention - Previously when creating policies you had to select them one by one and then your standards list would grow infinitely, but now you have the ability to set package names to your intune policies.
Imagine you are applying all L1 CIS policies, instead of adding each policy separately, you can go to your Intune Templates overview and tag the policies with "CISv4 L1". Now when deploying your standard, you don't need to worry about adding each one and potentially missing one, you can just use the "Add via tag" option.
