Upgrade to the New SecPoint® Penetrator 63.5 Firmware 

Major Performance and Security Enhancements in the New SecPoint® Penetrator 63.5 Firmware

We’re proud to announce the release of the SecPoint® Penetrator 63.5 firmware, a major update that significantly enhances performance, stability, and security across the platform. This version brings a range of powerful backend improvements that elevate the overall scanning experience and future-proof your cybersecurity toolkit.

Whether you're running large-scale vulnerability scans, managing multiple compliance profiles, or relying on TLS for secure communication, the new firmware introduces meaningful enhancements where they matter most.

🚀 Performance Boosts Across the Board

One of the core highlights of the 63.5 firmware is the optimization of the SQL engine that powers data storage and retrieval within the Penetrator. In benchmark testing, we've seen up to 48% faster query performance, particularly during the processing and generation of large-scale scan data. This means faster reporting, quicker dashboard updates, and reduced wait times during high-volume operations.

This improvement is particularly beneficial for organizations running frequent automated scans or maintaining detailed vulnerability records across multiple devices, segments, or networks. Whether you’re scanning internal systems, external IPs, or segmented zones, the enhanced backend engine will process the data more quickly and efficiently.

⚙️ Smarter Scripting for Smoother Operation

The upgraded scripting engine—which drives much of the Penetrator’s logic and automation—now benefits from 5–10% faster execution speeds. This contributes to a noticeably snappier user interface, quicker task execution, and overall improved system responsiveness.

Even complex scan routines, profile switching, and real-time results parsing now run more smoothly. This performance boost helps reduce load times and provides a more fluid experience, especially for users managing multiple scans or switching between dashboard modules during live assessments.

In practical terms, this upgrade allows you to complete more tasks in less time, without compromising accuracy or depth.

🔐 Stronger, Faster, and Leaner Encryption

Cybersecurity isn’t just about detecting vulnerabilities—it’s also about keeping your own system communication secure. That’s why we’ve upgraded the TLS encryption layer in firmware 63.5. The new implementation includes up to 88% faster secure connection performance, thanks to optimized cryptographic routines and lower handshake overhead.

What this means for you: encrypted communications between the Penetrator and your browser or integrated systems (e.g., SIEM, email alerts, remote access) now complete more quickly and with reduced load on system resources. This is especially valuable for enterprise users handling sensitive scan results or transmitting data across protected channels.

Additionally, improved TLS handling ensures even better compliance with modern security standards, helping your organization stay aligned with industry best practices such as ISO 27001, NIS2, and GDPR.

💡 Why These Updates Matter

In the cybersecurity landscape, speed and security go hand-in-hand. Faster query engines mean less lag when detecting new vulnerabilities. Smarter script handling allows for more flexible and reliable automation. And better encryption means greater trust in the way sensitive results are transmitted and stored.

These improvements aren’t just technical upgrades—they directly enhance the day-to-day workflow of cybersecurity teams, IT departments, MSSPs, and compliance officers who depend on the Penetrator to keep their infrastructure protected and compliant.

⏱️ How to Get the Update

To take advantage of all these new features, simply force the firmware update directly from the Penetrator’s web interface. You’ll find the update option under System > Firmware. The process is quick and fully automated, requiring no special configuration or manual intervention.

Once updated, your device will be running the latest and most secure firmware available, with all performance improvements enabled by default.

We strongly recommend all users apply this firmware update as soon as possible to benefit from the full range of improvements in scanning speed, system efficiency, and secure communications.
