What’s New?

We’re excited to announce the release of v1.5.2 of the Carbon Black Cloud Python SDK.

In this new release, we have updated the Audit Log functionality to include the ability to search and export audit log events. See the updated Guide page for details on the new functionality.

The other major feature added is CIS Benchmarking, a Workload enhancement that enables configuration and retrieval of Benchmark Sets and Rules in Carbon Black Cloud, and retrieval of the results from scans performed using these Rules. Features in CIS Benchmarking include:

  • Schedule compliance scans
  • Search, create, update, and delete benchmark sets
  • Search and modify benchmark rules within a benchmark set
  • Search and export device summaries for benchmark sets
  • Enable, disable, and trigger reassessment on benchmark sets or individual devices
  • Search benchmark set summaries
  • Search and export device compliance summaries
  • Search and export rule compliance summaries
  • Search rule results for devices
  • Get and acknowledge compliance bundle version updates, show differences, get rule info
  • A new Guide Page documenting use of CIS Benchmarking
