At its swampUP 2026 conference in New York Citry, JFrog has introduced JFrog Zero-Touch Remediation and announced the initial partners in its JFrog Self-Healing Software Supply Chain Security Ecosystem. Zero-Touch Remediation automatically finds the best available fix for a known vulnerability from any ecosystem partner and applies it through the customer’s pipeline, without breaking a build, forcing a version update, or disrupting developer workflows.

Today, Okta introduced new Auth0 capabilities designed to help businesses turn the agentic era into a growth opportunity without compromising security or risk. For B2C companies, the new capabilities optimize conversion rates across user journeys while securing agentic commerce. And on the B2B side, Auth0 is simplifying complex multi-tenancy, onboarding new customers and adding enterprise-grade identity capabilities.

DevSecOps is often presented as a stack of products to add to a delivery pipeline. For a small IT team, that framing can make the whole idea feel expensive and out of reach. It also misses the point. The real value of DevSecOps is not the number of tools a team owns. It is the set of working agreements that make secure, recoverable change part of everyday operations.

PARIS—Sept. 1, 2026—Filigran, the European open-source threat management company, today announced Attack Chaining, an attack-path validation capability that automates penetration testing and red teaming with OpenAEV, the company’s adversarial exposure validation product. The capability arrives today as part of OpenAEV v3. Adversaries do not run techniques in isolation.

For the first several years of the AI boom, infrastructure conversations revolved around compute. Organizations raced to secure GPUs, optimize utilization, and ensure high-performance storage could keep pace with increasingly demanding models. Those challenges remain, but they are no longer the only factors determining whether AI initiatives succeed. As enterprises move beyond pilots into production deployments, a different constraint is emerging.

The Kubernetes community has officially shipped v1.37, dubbed “Garhwal.” While the headlines will tout the 67 enhancements and the graduation of 16 features to stable, the bigger story here is the platform’s ongoing maturation. This release isn’t about adding “shiny” features; it’s about shoring up the control plane to handle the demands of production AI and machine learning workloads.

We live and breathe on our mobile devices. Mobile apps reflect reality in a way that no other surface does. And yet, from an engineering perspective, they’re the hardest to understand. It’s common for mobile engineers to see healthy dashboards, normal error rates, no crashes. But inevitably, somewhere, there’s a frustrated user watching their app spin. After a few seconds, they’ll lose patience, close the app, and turn their attention somewhere else. They may never come back.

Nine years at McAfee creates certain instincts. Protecting endpoints from threats that evolve daily builds a mental framework that stays with you, shaping how you approach infrastructure long after you leave. Those instincts proved surprisingly relevant across later roles at Amazon, Salesforce, and ZipRecruiter. The threats look different in the cloud, and the underlying patterns persist. Two early incidents at McAfee shaped this perspective.

SAN FRANCISCO — bitdrift, the mobile observability platform spun out of Lyft, today announced bitdrift AI: a real-time, full-fidelity observability system that lets AI agents query mobile user behavior and act on it autonomously. Purpose-built for mobile, bitdrift AI delivers unsampled data on the edge that enables agents to triage, investigate, and resolve issues without having to wait for slow release cycles or rely on limited, sampled data.

The global DBaaS market reached $34.7 billion in 2025, and analysts expect it to approach $139 billion by 2034. The industry already has leaders providing fully managed database services, starting from provisioning to pro-active monitoring, scaling as per need, and maintenance. That convenience has convinced many that the build option belongs to a different era.
