Hi Everyone!

After updating to version 9.3, the Elastic Defend status is not displayed on the endpoints.

We went ahead and released a new version that fixes this. You should see 9.3.0+build202602051825 available now. I think we’re still getting the release notes updated for it, but I believe the only change from 9.3.0 is fixing this status page.

Thank you! That was very fast! I will check for updates.

For now, it is still not available in my infrastructure.
