Adding more timeframes to Service Desk v2
I would like to submit a feature enhancement request based on our real-world use of Xcitium Service Desk 2 in a managed services environment. Currently, the minimum SLA grace period available in Service Desk 2 is 6 hours. While this may be sufficient for standard support requests, it does not adequately address several critical ticket categories that require immediate attention. Examples include: • Employee Termination Requests • Security Incident Reports • Suspected Account Compromise • Malware or Ransomware Events • Unauthorized Access Reports In these situations, a response target of 6 hours is far too long and does not reflect industry expectations or operational realities. Many MSPs and security providers require acknowledgment and action within 1–2 hours, and in some cases even sooner. We would like to request the addition of the following SLA options: • 1 Hour • 2 Hours • 4 Hours These additional SLA intervals would provide significantly greater flexibility and allow service providers to align Service Desk 2 with contractual response commitments and security best practices. Additionally, it would be extremely helpful if SLA Plans could automatically influence ticket priority. For example: • 1 Hour SLA → Automatically set Priority = Critical • 2 Hour SLA → Automatically set Priority = High • 4 Hour SLA → Automatically set Priority = High • 24 Hour SLA → Automatically set Priority = Normal This functionality would simplify administration, reduce workflow complexity, and help ensure that high-priority requests are properly classified without requiring additional workflow rules. As an MSP supporting multiple clients, we rely heavily on Help Topics and SLA Plans to drive ticket routing and urgency. Short-duration SLAs combined with automatic priority mapping would greatly improve the usability and effectiveness of Service Desk 2. Thank you for your consideration. We appreciate the continued development of the Xcitium platform and would welcome the opportunity to provide additional feedback or participate in testing of these enhancements. Sincerely, Yuri Kasan

Centralized "Maintenance Mode" / Development Toggle
FEATURE REQUEST: CENTRALIZED "MAINTENANCE MODE" TOGGLE THE PROBLEM Currently, troubleshooting script execution or application behavior is a manual, time-consuming process. Admins must either modify complex profile settings (causing configuration drift) or manually override settings on the local endpoint. This creates a "blind" troubleshooting environment where it is unclear if a failure is due to code errors or Xcitium components like HIPS, Containment, or VirusScope. THE PROPOSED SOLUTION Implement a Global or Per-Endpoint "Maintenance Mode" toggle within the Xcitium Portal. Key Requirements: One-Click Disable: Temporarily pause all protection components for a specific endpoint. Timed Auto-Revert: Set a timer (e.g., 30 or 60 mins) after which protection automatically re-enables. Audit Logging: Log all toggle actions for security compliance. ADVANTAGES BY ROLE FOR CODERS & DEVELOPERS: Instant Validation — Rapidly confirm if a new script or app is being blocked by Xcitium without waiting for profile propagation or digging through logs. FOR SYSTEM ADMINS: Eliminate Config Drift — No more creating "special" permanent profiles or local overrides that lead to inconsistent security across the fleet. FOR MANAGERS & SUPERVISORS: Operational Efficiency — Drastically reduces the "Mean Time to Resolution" (MTTR) for help desk tickets related to software deployment and RDP/connectivity issues. FOR SECURITY OFFICERS: Controlled Risk — A timed toggle is significantly safer than "uninstalling the agent" or "disabling protection indefinitely," which is the current desperate workaround. WHY CURRENT WORKAROUNDS FAIL MANUAL OVERRIDES: Requires remote access to the machine, which is impossible for large distributed teams. PROFILE CHANGES: Far too slow for iterative development or urgent troubleshooting. UNINSTALLING: Leaves the machine completely vulnerable and removes management visibility. SUMMARY FOR PRODUCT TEAM This feature is essential for environments that balance high-security with active development. It turns Xcitium from a "bottleneck" into a "flexible partner" for the IT team. (Ref: Ticket #118257)
