SecureTransport introduces additional protections designed for modern, multi‑layered network architectures. Support for Proxy Protocol allows SecureTransport to preserve the original client IP address even when traffic passes through load balancers or reverse proxies. This improves audit accuracy, troubleshooting, and access control decisions in complex network topologies.

Early connection hardening is introduced through restricted login protection at the edge. By preventing high-risk login attempts (such as common administrative usernames) at the edge, SecureTransport can block exploit attempts earlier in the connection flow. This proactive approach helps reduce DDoS exposure, preserve backend resources, and improve overall platform resilience.

Together, these enhancements improve visibility, strengthen access protection, and help organizations operate SecureTransport more securely in demanding network environments.

SecureTransport now supports multiple SSH key types on the server, eliminating the need to choose between supporting only one key type or running secondary key types on non-standard ports. This enhancement simplifies server configuration while providing greater flexibility for mixed client environments.

As a result, organizations can improve compatibility with a broader range of client configurations while simplifying server setup and reducing operational complexity.

Ongoing usability improvements make SecureTransport easier to configure and operate. The Administration Tool now provides clearer visibility into default configuration values, helping administrators better understand system behavior during setup and maintenance. Additional refinements to protocol‑specific (PeSIT) administrative content improve clarity and reduce ambiguity, allowing teams to work more efficiently and manage their environments with greater confidence.

SecureTransport now offers administrators more flexibility to choose the File Tracking filtering style that best suits their workflow and operational requirements. This added control helps teams tailor the experience to their needs while reducing unnecessary system load while improving responsiveness during daily monitoring and troubleshooting activities. This ensures consistent performance as transfer volumes and system activity scale.

SecureTransport continues to align with modern enterprise infrastructure by extending support to Microsoft SQL Server 2025. This allows customers to take advantage of the latest database capabilities while maintaining a supported and future‑ready deployment. Expanded platform support gives organizations more flexibility in their infrastructure strategy and helps ensure long‑term operational stability.
