Earlier this year we rolled out support for PHP 8.3 where PHP 8.2 encoded files can now run on PHP 8.3 with our unique Loader compatibility. We’re pleased to announce that our next major release, ionCube Encoder 14, is now available with full support for encoding PHP 8.3 syntax. ionCube Encoder continues to offer the best in PHP protection with advanced encoding tools so you can be sure that your PHP code is protected against theft and copy.

We are so proud to announce that GitProtect Backup and Disaster Recovery for Azure DevOps is here! The 1.8.5 release also brings a few improvements – performance, UX, and more – and small fixes. Let’s dig into more details.

After almost a decade in business, we’ve had the opportunity to watch the software development industry change dramatically. Developers work with more moving parts than ever, relying on technologies like third-party resources and AI coding assistants to release sophisticated software on tight deadlines. While we’ve been talking about the relationship between development and security for the past decade, the DevSecOps conversation has shifted quite a bit.

I am excited to announce the immediate availability of Mobile Checks and mobile end-user self-remediation for 1Password Extended Management Device Trust customers.

Vulnerability management is often a complex task, particularly when using multiple scanning tools or dealing with the constant flow of new CVEs. Different scanners can uncover the same vulnerability but provide different insights or look at different metadata, making it look like one vulnerability is several without the proper context. We are excited to introduce the Nucleus CVEs Page, designed to enhance how your organization manages vulnerabilities across projects.

We are thrilled to introduce two exciting new features to SecurePortal: Live Vulnerabilities and Chat. With Live Vulnerabilities, you can now access real-time vulnerability information as consultants identify them, significantly reducing the risk window. This enhancement enables your IT teams to begin triaging vulnerabilities within minutes, rather than waiting for the full assessment to be published. You can mark vulnerabilities as resolved as soon as they are fixed, even during an ongoing engagement.

Adversaries exploit security blind spots and sneak through traditional defenses to craft attacks that impact your operations, or even worse, your reputation. One recent example is the Revival Hijack supply-chain attack, where threat actors registered new PyPi projects with names of previously deleted packages. One way to counter this imminent threat is to “shift left,” or take ownership of the code’s security posture earlier in the development process.

In the critical and constantly evolving identity security space, organizations are focused on three essential needs: While identity security disciplines like identity security posture management (ISPM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR) and privileged access management (PAM) address various aspects of these needs, none offer a complete solution.

Engineering Leaders are stretched thinner than ever, racing to deliver innovative products and scale operations while securing a complex digital ecosystem across the increasing perimeter of code, DevOps, compliance, and more. Remember the infamous MOVEit attacks that compromised nearly 2,000 organizations, from BBC and Harvard to local government agencies. Over 67 million individuals were affected, underscoring the devastating consequences of such breaches.

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity and system observability, timely and accurate incident investigations are crucial. Whether you’re a SOC admin hunting down vulnerabilities, a developer resolving critical system outages, or a team member tracking Real User Monitoring (RUM) errors, the ability to piece together evidence, understand the timeline, and collaborate effectively is the difference between days and weeks of investigation.
