We are thrilled to announce that the Zenarmor SASE 2.1 release officially went live yesterday, Monday, October 6th, 2025. This release delivers a redesigned Zenconsole, major Zero Trust upgrades, and important backend changes that partners should prepare for.
What’s New in the Zenarmor SASE 2.1 Release
🌐 Android Support for ZTPA
Zero Trust Private Access now extends to mobile users for secure, seamless connectivity anywhere.
📦 New ZTPA Subscription Tier
SD-WAN and ZTNA bundled into one streamlined package—simplifying deployment and licensing.
🛠 Unified Organization Subscription
Run multiple services (SSE, ZTPA, SASE) under a single subscription for easier scaling and centralized control.
🛡 Inline File Scanning
Real-time malware inspection of downloaded files (SSE and SASE tiers) for stronger protection.
📲 MDM Deployment Support
Seamless rollout via Microsoft Intune, JAMF, and Chocolatey (SSE and SASE tiers).
🔑 Enhanced Authentication
“Built-in Authentication” is now Zenconsole Authentication, with:
- Google and Microsoft login options
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- Support for multiple org admins and users
A New Zenconsole Experience
Zenconsole is now management-first:
- Before: Users landed on account settings, then clicked into “My Firewalls.”
- Now: Users land directly on the dashboard for firewalls, nodes, and organizations.
Account & subscriptions remain accessible under “Account” in the top right. This change streamlines workflows, making administration faster and more intuitive.
Backend Update
With the Zenarmor SASE 2.1 release, support for Elasticsearch 5 and MongoDB backends is discontinued. Customers using these legacy systems must migrate to the supported stack before upgrading.
👉 Partners: Please check customer environments and plan migrations early.
Next Steps for Partners
To ensure a smooth rollout:
- Get familiar with the new Zenconsole flow
- Highlight Android ZTPA and MDM deployment as key benefits for remote workforces
- Emphasize the new authentication options as a major security upgrade
- Audit deployments for Elasticsearch 5 or MongoDB and prepare transition paths
