WebTitan OTG 2 for Windows Release Notes
The introduction of the OTG 2 family of agents saw our WebTitan OTG 1 agent being re-architected as a single-threaded application, meaning that the WebTitan OTG 2 agents are more stable and secure and require less CPU overhead from the user machine.
The WebTitan OTG 2 agent family offers several other improvements:
You can remotely manage and configure OTG 2 devices after installation from WebTitan, using the new device management UI.
You can view detailed device information on all your devices in WebTitan and apply global or individual configuration changes.
Reliance on a user's IP address has been removed, with OTG 2 now using an EDNS tag to identify a user and their device.
You can now automatically assign a specific policy to new devices during installation.
OTG 2 uses a customer-specific install key that improves security during installation. The install key can also be regenerated in the WebTitan UI if necessary.
