What We're Working On for SEM (Updated: 15-APR-2025)

Now that SEM 2025.2 is generally available, we are busy working on the next release. In SEM 2025.2, we delivered enhanced deployment flexibility, faster query execution, more flexible licensing, and built-in support for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Please refer to the release notes for a broad overview of this release. 

Here is what we will focus on in 2025. With this release, we’ve already checked off a few items—and we’ll continue delivering on the remaining ones in the next update.:

•  Expanded Hypervisor Support: We’re adding support for Nutanix Hypervisor.
• GCP: SEM deployment guide and support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 
• Licensing: Simplified licensing SKUs for multi-activation
• MFA: 2-factor authentication support.
• IPv6: Full support of IPv6 (installation and rules).
• Connectors: Reduce new connector backlog.
• OOTB Rules: Out of the box Rule sets to help you get started faster with pre-configured rules.
• Observability Sync: Closer synergy with SolarWinds Observability platforms

This list doesn't enumerate a lot of the features we're looking into for long term development and further releases. Since we continually use Thwack as one of our biggest sources of feedback, be sure to vote for features in Security Event Manager Feature Requests forum.
