Intel Driver & Support Assistant (DSA) - Cyber Compliance

SirLoin — Wed, 07 May 2025 08:38:44 GMT

Hello,

I am using the Qualsys programme to meet cyber compliance requirements but the Intel DSA is flagged as an immediate fail if I were to go through an audit. The main issue is that it uses .NET 8.0.14. Is there a plan for an update to 8.0.15 or 9.04, or does anyone know how I can force it to use a later .NET version? Alternatively is there a manual way that I can install these updates, for example would the Microsoft updates keep these up to date anyway?

Thanks

Why bother with the problems and headaches of IDSA at all when you can simply download the graphics driver directly?

Tell me which processor/graphics you have and I will provide you the intel link to download.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that I've posted the question here as there is not general software forum that I can find besides specialist compilers etc. There are multiple drivers that need updating covering the processor, wifi, bluetooth, Intel Arc etc. It was nice for it to just scan your system and automatically deliver the updates as required. Trying to find details of each of specific devices is just a bit of a pain.

Although we have asked multiple times, Intel does not want to have a forum for IDSA or other tools, for some reason known only to them. I have my theories.

So, not to worry, some employee/moderator will take a look at this.
