Atlassian released enterprise Backup and Restore APIs with 300GB Jira limits

GitHub Secret Protection and Code Security are now available as standalone products in Azure DevOps, replacing the bundled Advanced Security offering. Secret Protection includes secret scanning and push protection, while Code Security covers dependency and code scanning. This unbundling provides more granular security control for DevOps teams.

GitLab 18.10 released with agentic AI false positive detection for security scanning now generally available. The platform reduces alert fatigue by automatically scoring security findings with AI explanations. Agentic code reviews now cost $0.25 per review, making automated security review accessible at scale.

Atlassian released Backup and Restore capabilities with API support for Jira, Confluence, and JSM Enterprise plans. The new service supports automated backup operations across organizations with size limits of 300GB for Jira and 32GB for Confluence. Open beta users can continue free usage until April 29, 2026.

Multiple high-severity vulnerabilities affecting Jira and Confluence Data Center and Server versions were disclosed, including path traversal, file overwrite, and denial of service flaws. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to gain file system access and execute arbitrary files. Immediate patching is recommended.

AWS announced general availability of frontier agents that work autonomously across multiple DevOps steps. The DevOps Agent helps investigate incidents and reduce resolution time, while the Security Agent provides automated threat response. These agents integrate directly with CI/CD pipelines and maintain policy guardrails.

GitHub released 28 new secret detectors across 15 providers in March 2026, expanding push protection to 39 token types. New providers include Vercel (6 token types), Supabase, and Snowflake. The update also includes AI-powered base64-encoded secret detection to catch obfuscated credentials that bypass pattern-based scanners.
