What’s New
Control References Added to Compliance Posture Information API Output
/api/2.0/fo/compliance/posture/info/?action=list
We updated the Compliance Posture Information API output to include control references. You’ll see CIS references in CIS policies, STIG references in STIG policies, and user-defined references in custom policies. This feature allows you to easily parse data based on the reference value.

Support for database technology data collection by using underlying OS authentication records
/api/2.0/fo/subscription/option_profile/pc/?action=update|create
/api/2.0/fo/subscription/option_profile/pc/?action=list
/api/2.0/fo/subscription/option_profile/?action=export

Now you have an option to enable database instance data collection by using the underlying OS authentication records without creating an authentication record for the database technology.
