v7.5

Announcing Knocknoc 7.5  🚀

Knocknoc 7.5 marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine secure network access. This release is a comprehensive redesign of the user experience, delivering a streamlined, intuitive interface that empowers both administrators and end users with greater control and clarity — without compromising on power.

But Knocknoc 7.5 isn’t just a facelift — it’s a massive uplift in features, performance, and security.

Here’s what’s new and improved in Knocknoc 7.5:

  • Revamped UI/UX: A fresh, responsive interface that simplifies complex tasks while giving power users faster access to advanced controls. The new design enhances visibility across policies, activity, and access requests — making configuration management effortless.

  • Credential Security Protections: Credentials and API tokens to orchestrate external devices like firewalls and public-clouds, including those passed to custom-scripts, are now protected asymmetrically with a zero-knowledge style approach. 

  • Tighter Integrations: Knocknoc 7.5 seamlessly integrates with the tools and platforms you already use, including:

    • Linux (systemd + auditd hooks) for tighter OS-level access control

    • Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet firewalls for dynamic rule updates

    • HAProxy for intelligent traffic routing and access enforcement

    • Webhooks & REST APIs for automating workflows and triggering third-party actions

  • Policy Engine Upgrades: The updated policy engine allows for more granular rules, better role-based access control (RBAC), and easier management of multi-environment configurations — from dev to prod.

  • Improved Performance & Scalability: Core components have been refactored for speed and efficiency, enabling faster access evaluations and better handling of large-scale, distributed deployments.

Knocknoc 7.5 is built for the environments where access can’t just be controlled — it needs to be earned, verified, and continuously protected. Whether you're managing critical infrastructure, complex networks, or hybrid environments, this release is designed to meet you there.
