Atmos Agent Features
| Feature | Description | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Pause ZTNA/SWG | (Optional) Ability to allow the user to pause SWG and/or ZTNA from the agent UI. Password enforcement and timeframe allowed for disabled function is configurable.

| ZTNA Block | (Optional) Option to control the block behavior of ZTNA access. Previously when a user blocked with ZTNA, it ignored/bypassed. Leveraging this new feature with a block profile can enforce an explicit block on the policy. Please contact your CSM or Axis Security Support: [email protected] to enable. Click here to read more about this feature. | Windows Linux OSX |
| Smart Routing by RTT | (Optional) We've introduced a new feature to improve connectivity by ensuring your connection is routed through the most efficient Point of Presence (PoP). Previously, the agent relied on GeoDNS/GSLB, which determined the PoP based on the source IP of the DNS server. However, this method was prone to inaccuracies. With this new method, the agent now connects and retrieves a list of all available PoP addresses. It then measures the RTT to each PoP and automatically selects the one with the best performance as its primary endpoint. Please note that the agent feature is now generally available (GA), while the overall platform remains in beta. | Windows Linux OSX Android iOS |
| Ubuntu 24 & Debian 11+ | Added agent support for Ubuntu 24 and Debian 11+ | Linux |
