Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Which industries are attracting the most attention from cybercriminals today? According to the DevOps Threats Unwrapped Report 2026, Technology and Software organizations remained the most targeted sector. This finding is consistent with our previous research in the 2024 CISO’s Guide to DevOps Threats, showing that attackers continue to focus heavily on organizations that build, manage, and distribute software. What changed, however, was the composition of the industries that followed close behind.

Git repository growth often looks harmless at first. A few large assets, generated files, dependency folders, old branches, release archives, test datasets, or binary files may not cause immediate problems. Developers can still commit, pipelines still run, and the repository appears manageable. Over time, however, unnecessary data accumulates in Git history and becomes a backup and recovery challenge.

AI adoption in the DevOps field has been extensive. Developers use agents daily to broaden context, automate coding, prototype, etc., saving time and minimizing the footprint of mundane tasks. But it’s not all about gains. Agentic AI enables and introduces security threats that were unknown just a few years ago. With machine speed and scale, these can impact your corporate repos in a number of highly dangerous ways. The trend is on the rise, including at the level of popular DevOps platforms.

Confluence is often used to store important knowledge inside an organization: runbooks, technical documentation, project plans, onboarding materials and incident notes along with internal procedures. When this data is deleted, overwritten, corrupted or simply unavailable, teams can lose the information needed to keep work processes moving forward.

The terminal output was still scrolling when Jer Crane, the founder of PocketOS, realized what had happened. Nine seconds. That is how long it took a coding AI agent to delete his production database, his backups, and three months of operational records. PocketOS was using Cursor for what should have been a routine task in a test environment.

Building a resilient CI/CD pipeline means protecting every piece of data that makes your code run. Your environment variables, secret tokens, and configuration files demand the exact same security as your core repositories. Traditional backup protocols leave these assets completely vulnerable to silent manipulation. If ransomware subtly modifies your archived backup, executing a restore will deploy the corrupted files straight into production.

With version 2.3.0, GitProtect brings the long-awaited support for Confluence, SharePoint, and shared mailbox backup. Speaking of DevOps stack protection, your repo copies now feature enhanced granularity and accelerated recovery with automated mapping. Release 2.3.0 also includes a number of stability and performance improvements. Below, you can find a detailed overview of the new features.

The shift-left approach and prioritizing security from the very beginning of the coding process are what the tech industry talks endlessly about. Yet, many DevOps teams falsely believe that simply scanning code makes them secure. The harsh reality is that your CI/CD pipeline is rarely guarded with the same level of rigor and monitoring as the production environment it serves.

Confluence is where teams keep operational knowledge: runbooks, architecture decisions, postmortems, HR policies, product specs, onboarding docs, and internal knowledge bases. Atlassian’s status pages show that disruption is not theoretical: on April 8, 2026, Atlassian reported search failures impacting multiple products, and on April 13, 2026, some users were unable to log in across Atlassian products.
