This release delivers heavy-hitting updates to the Mac Agent, extends Windows monitoring into native desktop applications like WhatsApp, and provides administrators with more granular tools to manage data and triage security alerts.

Today, we’re introducing Justification Coach, a new AI-powered capability that helps users write better access request justifications in real time, so admins get the context they need for audits and investigations without having to chase people down after the fact.

By Roger A. Grimes and Matthew Duren AI agents can deliver incredible productivity gains, but their operational complexity makes effective threat modeling harder than ever, including for developers, administrators and especially end users. At the same time, both developers and non-developers are increasingly vibe-coding, or using AI to generate functional software from natural language prompts.

The huge news is coming: GitProtect is the first solution on the market to support the backup of the GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency environments. The launch of version 2.2.0 also brings more secure and efficient AES-GCM encryption, a refreshed dashboard, a new onboarding experience, support for Azure DevOps related work links, and much more. Let’s dive into all the new features.

Ask anyone what they think when a website requests a driver's license, Social Security number, or email address, and you'll hear the same reaction: "Why do they need that?" It’s a fair question. Not a day goes by without news of another data breach or scam. Many people have either experienced fraud firsthand or know someone who has.

CertKit is officially out of beta. We started building CertKit a year ago, and since then over 600 people signed up, issued certificates, and deployed to their infrastructure. Several are running it as their production certificate management platform right now. We built a lot during the beta. Some of it we planned: SSO, team management, alerting. Other things, users had to beat into us. The Keystore came from enterprise security requirements to keep private keys in house.

At Nutanix.NEXT, we’re excited to announce that CloudCasa is launching in the NKP Partner Catalog, giving Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution users an easier way to add Kubernetes-native backup, recovery, disaster recovery, and migration to their environments. This launch builds on CloudCasa’s existing Nutanix Ready foundation and extends that value even further by making CloudCasa available through the NKP Partner Catalog.

We release some good stuff this week with the CertKit agent version 1.8 from our roadmap, along with some small usability fixes in the CertKit web application.

Organizations have invested heavily in consent management. Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) are standard infrastructure for privacy programs, and for good reason. Regulations like GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PDPA, and HIPAA require organizations to obtain, record, and honor user consent before collecting or processing personal data. CMPs provide the framework to do that. Most organizations have done the right thing, they just don’t know if they’ve done the right thing right.

Although artificial intelligence (AI) seems relatively new to a lot of people, it was first officially created in 1956 and has been a large, improving branch of computer science ever since. The mass appeal of AI took off in late 2022 when OpenAI publicly released ChatGPTicial iintelligence (AI) seems relatively new to a lot of people, it was first officially created in 1956 and has been a large, improving branch of computer science ever since.
