Today I have the honour of introducing the most powerful and capable 1Password ever. Wrapped in a gorgeous new design and blazingly fast, 1Password 8 is our love letter to Mac users everywhere. 💌

Elastic Security 8.2 powers the efficiency and effectiveness of security teams, arming analysts with invaluable insights and deep visibility into the attacks targeting their organization. The release delivers rich alert contextualization, osquery host inspection directly from an alert, new investigation guides, and the general availability of threat intelligence. Let’s jump in.

Securing modern-day production systems is expensive and complex. Teams often need to implement extensive measures, such as secure coding practices, security testing, periodic vulnerability scans and penetration tests, and protections at the network edge. Even when organizations have the resources to deploy these solutions, they still struggle to keep pace with software teams, especially as they accelerate their release cycles and migrate to distributed systems and microservices.

I have been waiting to publish a post with this title for a long time. With 1Password 8 for Linux and Windows out in the world – and the Mac version in beta – many folks have justifiably been asking, “but what about iOS? When do I get to see that?”

The DevOps workflow is all about automation driven by machine-to-machine access. To maintain the automated DevOps pipeline, engineers configure service accounts with credentials such as passwords, API tokens, certificates, etc. The issue is that engineers often fall into the security mispractice of creating long-lived credentials for service accounts to facilitate automation and lessen manual intervention.

The ARMO Kubescape team has been busy lately… we have several new and improved features for you that we are very excited about. Based on the feedback and ideas we got from the amazing community, we worked hard to enhance Kubescape with better and deeper scanning capabilities, UI improvements, and a more friendly CLI version. We invite everyone to shape the Kubescape roadmap by giving us feedback and suggestions using git, discord, or mail.

In this blog post we're excited to announce Machine ID, an easy way for developers to secure machine-to-machine communications based on X.509 and SSH certificates. But before we go deeper, let’s step back and think about what’s happening during a hacking attempt. Every security breach has two things in common. Addressing cybersecurity challenges requires a solution to both.

As the trend toward having a more distributed labor force working remotely part or full time persists, Splunk continues to see strong customer demand for more visibility into the security of the productivity and collaborative products their employees use. To assist with these requests, we’re excited to announce the release of Splunk Add-On for Google Workspace 2.0. This second major release includes important changes requested by our customers and valuable new functionality.

We’re happy to announce the latest version of PAM360 now supports self-service privilege elevation with application whitelisting capabilities. Before exploring the feature in-depth, let’s start with the fundamentals.

When we released 1Password 8 for Windows, it marked the start of the next chapter for 1Password. And though Santa may have come and gone in the weeks since, we’ve still got a bag full of shiny new toys for our Windows customers.
