8.7.0 Release Notes

HYPR 8.7.0 is an Enterprise Channel Release.

The Enterprise Release Channel caters to customers requiring a less frequent cadence of upgrades, specifically on a quarterly basis, thereby allowing them more time to adapt and implement changes without disrupting their business operations.

The Standard Release Channel is designed for customers who are equipped to accommodate monthly updates, providing regular and more frequent access to new features and improvements. All Standard Release features are available in the next scheduled Enterprise Release.

Upcoming Changes

HYPR Adapt (Beta)

Create risk-based authentication adaptation for your HYPR users. In addition to limiting login frequency and controlling how long users are resultingly blocked, future versions of HYPR Adapt will adapt to behavioral changes such as:

• Sudden change of location
• Shifts in the time of authentication compared to established patterns
• Country deny lists

Watch this space for updates as HYPR Adapt evolves.

Microsoft Entra Nomenclature Updates
HYPR 9.0+ will be updated where Microsoft Azure is mentioned to accommodate the name change to Microsoft Entra. Anywhere in the documentation or UI that uses Azure in HYPR 8.x and prior versions will now use Entra.

Product Documentation Changes
HYPR is consolidating its documentation in an effort to more readily provide the information you are seeking. The overall look and feel will initially remain similar to what you see now. In the second phase, HYPR functions will be defined with a user story in mind, role-dependent, for users, admins, and developers.

HYPR Branding Changes
You may have noticed HYPR content shifting to include a fingerprint theme; likewise, we are changing some of our product names to standardize their labeling. Some are still the old familiar titles you know and love.

We've included the full list of products and features that will be included under the grouping, HYPR Authenticate. HYPR Authenticate includes the suite of components that make up the HYPR system: Control Center (including Integrations and Plugins), HYPR Passwordless, the HYPR Mobile Apps, and the SDKs.
