Netop is pleased to announce a release update of Netop 13.05 with new features and branding based on our formal product name change.
Product Name Update
Impero Connect is officially renamed to Netop. All Impero Connect applications and portals are being rebranded as Netop as part of our continued commitment to clarity, consistency, and innovation in secure remote access and control.
• All Impero Connect branded applications will now appear as Netop across the product interface, installer packages, documentation, and support materials. The Impero Connect Portal (https://connect.backdrop.cloud) will become Netop Portal (https://portal.netop.com).
• This is a brand identity change only — your current functionality and support experience will remain uninterrupted.
Why the change?
This rebranding reflects our alignment with the trusted Netop brand, known for its secure and efficient remote access and control solutions, and is part of our long-term vision to streamline product offerings under a single, recognizable name.
What you need to do?
Nothing! The change will roll out automatically, and no action is required from your side. For any questions or assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.
Thank you for being part of our journey — we’re excited about what’s ahead.
New Features and Updates
• Security Improvements: Improvements to system file management on the Hostmachine strengthen the security of user data.
• Mass Activation & Deactivation for Intel vPro Devices in the Netop Portal:
Managing large fleets is now easier with the ability to mass activate or deactivate Intel vPro devices in one action, saving time and boosting efficiency.
• Enhanced Intel vPro Details View:
Gain deeper insights into your systems with the enhanced Settings & Hardware Info section in the Netop Portal. We’ve added richer, more detailed information, including improved data within Settings & Hardware Info, Audit Logs, and Event Logs, giving you better visibility into system configuration, provisioning states, power capabilities, and hardware specifics.
• Login Token Security Enhancement: For enhanced authentication security, the login token is no longer included in the URL, preventing its exposure in browser history and logs.
• Account Naming Restrictions: The system now enforces the use of only alphanumeric characters for account names to maintain data consistency and prevent conflicts arising from special character usage.
• Improved Account Selection UI: Users with multiple Netop Portal accounts will now see a modal dropdown for easier account switching and management within the interface.
