May’s updates focused on helping organisations build useful registers faster, keep their information organised and get clearer results from website vulnerability scans.
Build your registers faster with curated libraries
Apollo’s new Asset Library and Supplier Library give teams a practical starting point for two of their most important registers. Instead of creating common assets and suppliers from scratch, users can browse curated records, search and filter the libraries and import the items that are relevant to their organisation.
Library records contain useful information that would otherwise need to be researched and entered manually. Once imported, each organisation can add the operational details that are specific to the way it uses an asset or works with a supplier.
The libraries also support records over time. When a library item changes, teams can choose whether to keep their existing version, update the library-managed information or merge the changes while retaining organisation-specific details.
This is a significant step towards making register setup faster and more consistent, particularly for schools that rely on many of the same technology platforms and service providers.
Keep your registers organised
Teams can now filter for records with No Tags across Risks, Assets, Controls, Suppliers and Incidents, as well as questionnaire areas.
This makes it much easier to find information that has not yet been classified or organised. Rather than searching through each register manually, users can identify untagged records directly and complete the work as part of a regular governance review.
It is a small improvement, but a practical one for organisations using tags to group information by team, priority, project or another internal category.
Better website vulnerability scanning
Apollo now supports OWASP ZAP as an additional option for web application vulnerability scanning. Customers with access to the capability can select ZAP when configuring a scan, follow its progress and review grouped findings in Apollo alongside results from other scanning tools.
We also introduced WPScan as a new WordPress-specific scanning capability. Its findings include useful vulnerability information and are separated into clear individual results, making it easier to understand what was found, decide what matters and track remediation.
Together, these changes give organisations more choice in how they scan websites and clearer information when vulnerabilities are identified.
Behind the scenes, May also marked the beginning of a major project to establish a second Apollo data region in Australia. That work would continue over the following months, laying the foundation for local data hosting for Australian and Asia-Pacific customers.
The new libraries, filtering and scanning options are live in Apollo. If you would like help using the Asset or Supplier Libraries, OWASP ZAP or WPScan, please get in touch and we can arrange a walkthrough.
