When your security operations centre spans multiple regions, systems, and languages, visibility can quickly fragment. Different teams see different data. Different systems speak different formats. Different sites follow different configurations.
THE RESULT?
A patchwork of partial truths that slow detection, weaken response, and increase operational risk.
Snare Agent v5.10 changes that — giving modern SOCs a single, standardised, and centrally managed way to collect, translate, and control event data from every endpoint.
One Language for Global SOCs
Security teams can’t defend what they can’t understand. That’s why Snare Agent v5.10 introduces Windows Log Translation, converting local-language audit data back to English while devices continue operating in their native locale.
Why it matters:
- Unified detections: Analysts in Tokyo and Toronto see identical event wording.
- Reusable rules: Correlation logic and alerts work consistently across global fleets.
- Simpler dashboards: Visualisations and metrics align under one standard taxonomy.
For MSSPs and multi-national enterprises, this means one global playbook — not twenty local ones.
Simplified Access with LDAP Authentication
Administrative access is often overlooked in endpoint management. Version 5.10 (through Snare Agent Manager v2.2.0) now supports LDAP authentication, integrating directly with existing directory services such as Active Directory.
Business impact:
- Centralised control: Manage users and roles through your corporate directory.
- Zero-Trust alignment: Enforce MFA and password rotation policies automatically.
- Auditable actions: Every login and change request is logged for compliance review.
Stronger identity governance doesn’t just secure access — it proves accountability.
Deploy Once, Configure Everywhere
Large estates demand consistency. Snare’s new default configuration templates replace the outdated “master agent” model, allowing administrators to roll out baseline policies in minutes and maintain them with confidence.
Combined with expanded remote policy management and bulk tagging, security teams can:
- Push updates across hundreds of endpoints simultaneously.
- Group assets dynamically by location, customer, or function.
- Reduce site visits and manual touchpoints by over 70 %.
For MSSPs managing multi-tenant environments, this is operational efficiency at scale.
Smarter Integrations with Securonix, Devo & Splunk
Log quality determines SIEM quality. Snare Agent v5.10 adds policy-to-destination routing and Devo-specific tagging, ensuring every event is parsed correctly the first time — no workarounds or re-ingestion cycles.
What it delivers:
- Accurate, port-based parsing for Securonix and Devo.
- Cleaner pipelines and reduced duplication for Splunk.
- Seamless integration into hybrid SIEM ecosystems.
Fewer ingestion errors = faster detection, lower cost.
More Context, Fewer Blind Spots
Security events rarely happen in isolation. By capturing Linux telemetry (CPU, disk, memory, and network metrics) alongside log data, Snare Agent v5.10 gives SOCs the operational context they’ve been missing.
Analysts can now:
- Correlate performance anomalies with potential intrusions.
- Identify resource-based attacks or insider misuse.
- Shorten root-cause investigations by combining performance and security signals.
Add new macOS 15 Sequoia support, and the coverage picture is complete — every endpoint, every OS, one standard.

THE RESULT: A SOC that’s not only more effective — it’s more efficient. You collect only what matters, manage it centrally, and see it clearly everywhere.
Stronger. Smarter. Simplified.
Snare Agent v5.10 is more than an update — it’s a foundation for unified visibility. By standardising collection, control, and context at the source, it transforms endpoint noise into actionable intelligence your analysts can trust.
Because visibility isn’t just about seeing — it’s about understanding.
