SecureCRT 8.7 Keyword Highlighting Enhancements Simplify Device Management

In environments with large numbers of connected devices, the ability to do word, phrase, and substring matching and use regular expressions in keyword highlighting makes device management easier.

"The enhanced regex capabilities of SecureCRT 8.7 paired with endless color-coding options (for keyword highlighting) allow me to efficiently identify outliers, visually scan and filter results very quickly, and highlight errors and inconsistencies that I would have otherwise missed," said Alan Skinner at Cox Communications.

New Command Manager in SecureCRT for Windows Streamlines Repetitive Tasks

For customers who wanted more buttons than could fit on the button bar, the new Command Manager (Windows only) provides a simple way to organize commands into named folders.  

According to Shawn R. Hill, CISSP CCSE at AT&T, "The Command Manager has completely revamped the 'Button' experience. The ability to create a command tree list — sorted per vendor device type, environment, and even versions — exponentially improves the functionality of SecureCRT. Having the right commands, already proven to work from prior use and ready to go at the click of a mouse, is a huge time saver during troubleshooting sessions and outage mitigation efforts."

SecureFX 8.7 Adds Multiple Local Windows and HTTPS (WebDAV)

SecureFX 8.7 enhances productivity with a new option to pair each remote session with its own local window.

The addition of HTTPS (WebDAV) increases SecureFX’s flexibility for organizations that use multiple transfer protocols.
