# v9.9 Release Notes (QUX)

## 🛡️ Coverage

### Rapid Release Improvements

The following improvements have been made to algorithms since the last software release cycle. Customers that are connected to Vectra’s update service with Remote Support enabled have received these improvements. All other customers will be receiving the following improvements as part of this release:

* Vectra AI continues its transition of detections previously delivered through the Suricata engine into native detections running directly on the Vectra flow engine. This ongoing effort ensures advanced attacker behavior coverage is available to all customers, without requiring Suspect Protocol Activity (SPA) or reliance on signature-based detection logic. This release introduces a number of new native detections covering **Cobalt Strike**, **Meterpreter**, and **Ursnif** activity.
* Vectra AI has resolved an issue where Suspicious Remote Execution detections did not correctly display mapped function names due to a missing function map file in container images. The update ensures the required mapping file is properly packaged and loaded, restoring accurate function name visibility and improving detection clarity for remote execution activity.

## ⚙️ Architecture/Administration

### Multi-SAML Support in Private Preview

The Quadrant UX platform currently supports single sign-on (SSO) through integration with a customer’s identity provider (IDP) using a configured SAML profile. Until now, only a single SAML profile can be defined, which restricts integration to one IDP at a time.

To tackle this, we are launching Private Preview support for multiple SAML profiles. This enhancement will enable customers and MSSPs to configure and manage integrations with multiple IDPs simultaneously, providing greater flexibility and alignment with complex identity environments. If you are interested in Multi-SAML, please contact your account team.
