We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of [MISP v2.4.162](https://github.com/MISP/MISP/releases/tag/v2.4.162) with a new periodic notification system, workflow updates
and many improvements. 

In addition to the MISP v2.4.162 release, [misp-guard](https://github.com/MISP/misp-guard) has been released which is a [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/) addon that inspects the events that MISP is attempting to synchronize with external MISP instances via `PUSH` or `PULL` and applies a set of customizable rules defined in a JSON file. This is a complementary tool to support MISP users having to interconnect MISP instances between highly sensitive networks.

# Periodic notification system

As of version 2.4.162, MISP includes a **periodic summary** feature allowing users to consult a summary based on a requested time-frame for data the user has access to.

Currently, the summaries can be generated for 3 different periods: `daily`, `weekly` and `monthly` and then sent to all users that subscribed to one of these periods.

In addition to letting users subscribe to a period, they can also specify filtering options such as tags or distribution levels to be applied when generating the report.
The summary can then be sent via email or viewed in the MISP User-Interface.

- New Microsoft teams module based on the webhook module. 
- New email notification module to send email to a list of MISP users including [Jinja templating](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/).
- Tag name can now be used in workflows.

# MISP core improvements

- Allow option to delete tags on event sync prior to soft-delete tag implementation.
