A security hardening release adds supply‑chain validations and streamlines key management across services. Build systems now perform additional verification of dependencies and signatures, while runtime changes improve secret storage and rotation. The release also clarifies baseline controls and provides checklists so teams know what is expected and how to demonstrate compliance. On the detection side, rules and dashboards surface anomalous behavior without drowning staff in noise. The aim is steady improvement with artifacts to prove it: auditable procedures, guidance for exceptions, and metrics that show whether controls are actually working. Subsequent updates will address threat modeling templates and red‑team simulation packs to help teams practice responses before incidents occur.
