We are excited to announce an enhancement to your workflow in Castle's Dashboard: ability to quickly reorder columns!

Today, we are excited to announce enhancement to our browsing capabilities: the filtering of the adblocker usage. Understanding adblocker usage assists in making informed decisions, not only regarding advertising but also in detecting unexpected behavioral changes.

We've released the new option for filtering the events. Now there is an ability to filter based on the usage of incognito mode. Besides facilitating behavioral analysis, knowing that someone is using incognito mode can be useful in identifying potential engagement in fraudulent activities.

It's been a while since we introduced the first version of Metrics, a powerful way of utilizing time series aggregations (or velocities) as part of your fraud and abuse prevention strategies. Today we're happy to release a fully customizable version of Metrics, which enables you to create time series queries that run in real-time, based on any fields available on events, including custom properties.

The top chart visualization can be a great way to analyze a slice of traffic, to get a breakdown of eg. the top countries or signals. To make it easier to see the relations between values we've added a new column which shows the percentage, as well as an interactive pie chart visualization which allows you to explore the data further.

Policies is a central feature in Castle for controlling automation and decisioning. In order to make it easier to see the impact of changing a specific policy, we've introduced a new view where you can easily compare how a policy triggers before and after your desired change. All this in the same powerful context of the Explore view. When you're happy with your modifications, you can quickly save the policy directly from this view.

Castle has supported webhooks for quite some time now, as a way of automating your fraud and abuse operations. We're happy to launch a much improved version of setting up webhooks and how they trigger. In the past Castle sent out webhooks based on two static policy conditions: one for when the policy action was challenge and one for when it was deny.

In the Explore view it's easy to quickly filter out interesting values that you may find during an investigation by simply clicking on them. We've now improved this experience by making the menu more compact and easy to read, plus added a new action for copying the value to clipboard. The latter was a highly requested feature, that facilitates cross-checking data between systems.

Today we're launching a new option to our Risk and Filter APIs: the ability to retrieve more details from the event context. By passing the expand: ["all"] option as part of the JSON payload you're sending to either the Risk or Filter API, you'll get back a rich object with additional data such as IP-location and device information. This information is the same as you can see in the Castle Dashboard when exploring data, but now you can get it directly in the API response as well.

We're happy to announce that we have introduced several dashboard improvements for Lists.
