• The two X1700 Sockets are fully interoperable, and can be installed together in the same HA cluster
• Both models have the same pricing
• Cato will continue to provide support for both models
• You can view the datasheet for both X1700 models here
• See this FAQ for more about the X1700 Socket hardware update
• Accounts Using Registration Codes Can Now Configure SSO for Specific Users: For accounts that want to migrate from Cato’s Registration Codes (Access > Directory Services > User Provisioning) to Single Sign-On (SSO), we now support the option to configure both methods under the same account. This lets accounts currently using Registration Codes gradually migrate by setting SSO authentication for specific users. Read more.
• Enhanced Data for Security Rules Export: When you export security rules, the CSV file now includes the Description field for rules in the following Security policies:
• Internet and WAN firewall 
• TLS Inspection 
• Application Control and Data Control 
• Easy Creation of New Security Rules by Duplicating Existing Rules: Starting January 1st, you can duplicate a rule in your security policies and then modify it to create a new rule.
